Impacts of (W)EEE on Climate Change
Production
(EEE)
• Use of Natural
resources (particularly
precious & special
metals)
• Energy consumption
• Re-USE impacts linked
to production prevention
• Role of ICT in mitigating
Climate Change > GHG
gases

End-of-Life
(WEEE)
Use (EEE)
ITU Green Standards Week - Rome
•

• Mitigate resource use
(recycling society)
Only under proper
recycling

The role of e-waste worldwide
• Global Estimates for 2015: 58,9 Mt/y
• More than 600 Mt CO2 eq potential (under EU scenario)
• Growing number of countries being covered by ewaste bills
• Limited EEE covered (hardly C&F appliances, Lamps)
• No specific targets on EEE categories (collection & treatment)
• No specific requirements on:
• Pre-processing (e.g. ensuring efficient GHG gas removal)
• End-processing (e.g. ensuring proper recovery of precious
& special metals)
•
Countries without any e-waste bill
