This webinar was organized in the context of the
International Telecommunication Union (ITU)-Government of Colombia project,
International Exchange Initiative on Regulating E-waste and Engaging Tech Producers. This project provides a platform for best practices and lesson-sharing for participating ITU Member States to grow their knowledge and to increase their experience in developing and implementing e-waste regulations. The project revolves around three study tours, bringing together representatives from six participating countries and subject matter experts. A series of public post-study tour webinars consolidates the insights gained and allows other ITU Member States and experts to join the conversation on best practices for e-waste management.
This webinar was the first of the series and highlighted insights from the
Colombia study tour on 06-10 October 2025, focusing on international collaboration and best practices in e-waste management.
