| Guidelines and certification schemes for e-waste recyclers |
 |
Recommendation ITU-T L.1032 is part of a series of ITU-T Recommendations that considers requirements for recyclers of waste information and communication technology (ICT). This Recommendation addresses, in particular, the informal sector that is involved in waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) collection and dismantling.
This Recommendations must be read in conjunction with national legislation and technical requirements for WEEE recyclers at the national level. A number of standards on WEEE, related to the present series of Recommendations, are published on the ITU-T website at: //1f8a81b9b0707b63-19211.webchannel-proxy.scarabresearch.com/en/ITU-T/Pages/default.aspx .
Updates on the regional and international conventions and legislation presented can be found at: www.Basel.int (for the Basel Convention), also at: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/shipments/legis.htm (for the EU waste shipment regulations), and at: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/weee/index_en.htm (for the EU WEEE directive).
In addition, there are a number of mandatory and voluntary standards on the treatment conditions for workers and the environment that can be used as guidelines to improve national legislation and the quality of recycling where such standards are yet to be implemented. |
