In the framework of the study, it can be concluded that refunctionalization is performed for all the
tracer streams considered is carried out in the country; however, the quantities refunctionalized
are much lower than the WEEE managed or the apparent consumption of EEE (Table 8).
Desktop computers (PCs) is the most refunctionalized tracer, with 2 139 units reported for
2019, equivalent to 7.9 per cent of the total WEEE of PCs managed in that year.
