Summary:
|
The amount of e-waste generated has continued to rise in recent years, while the recycling rate is relatively low, which has triggered continuous concern around the world. At the same time, considering that ICT technology can realize cost reduction and efficiency increase in the process of waste management, countries have successively introduced relevant policies to support the application of ICT technology in the process of waste management. Therefore, it is necessary to gradually develop relevant management methods for e-waste management using ICT technology. This Recommendation develops methodology of using ICTs in E-waste disposal and recycling management, including framework and operation capacity requirement of ICTs application in E-waste management. It aims to support firms to use ICTs to increase efficiencies and reduce costs of E-waste disposal and recycling management and create contribution on waste reduction worldwide. This Recommendation also provides a guideline for countries, especially developing countries, to use ICTs to increase E-waste management efficiency and reduce E-waste volumes, supporting to achieve sustainable development.
