E-waste statistics. Guidelines on classificaiton, reporting and indicators 2015

Currently, countries lack a uniform measurement system for waste electrical and electronic equipment (e-waste or WEEE). However, there is already substantial data available for both developed and less-developed countries that relate to e-waste statistics. In order to improve comparability between countries, a sound measurement framework is proposed that integrates and validates available harmonized statistical data and other non-statistical data sources into e-waste

statistics. This measurement framework is presented along with a classification of e-waste.

Purpose

The data collected will support policymakers in drafting fact-based

policies to create the infrastructure to manage e-waste within their countries. This will

contribute to the creation of green jobs and the eradication of poverty, which are central

themes from the Rio+20 sustainable development conference and the United Nations’

post-2015 development agenda.
