As our blog series continues to explore MNO electronic waste (e-waste) management efforts across Asia and Africa, we would like to draw your attention to some unique aspects seen in each of these projects. These help us to draw parallels between efforts implemented independently, and in many c...
By 2020, e-waste in South Africa and China from old computers will have leapt to as much as 400 percent of its 2007 levels, and by 500 percent in India. In China and India, the piles of dumped TV sets will be 1.5 to two times taller, while the mountains of old refrigerator...
Rapid advances in technology tend to lead to larger amounts of e-waste as outmoded EEE becomes e-waste sooner. Proper e-waste management strategies are needed to control this at every stage, from production to disposal. Recycling is a valuable instrument for monitoring emerging e-waste (Ahirwar...
