Summary:
|
These recommendations tackle requirements for recyclers of waste ICT addressing in particular the informal sector which is involved in WEEE collection and dismantling. The recommendations must be read in conjunction with national legislation and technical requirements for WEEE recyclers at the national level. A number of standards on WEEE, related to the present recommendations are published on the web site of ITU-T at: https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/Pages/default.aspx. Updates on the regional and international conventions and legislation presented can be found at: www. Ba-sel.int (for the Basel Convention) and http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/shipments/legis.htm.(for the EU Waste Shipment Regulation) and at: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/weee/index_en.htm (for the EU WEEE directive). In addition there are a number of mandatory and voluntary standards on the treatment conditions for workers and the environment which can be used as a guideline to improve national legislation and the quality of recycling where such standards are implemented yet.
