| Guideline for the development of an e-waste management system and achieving the e-waste targets of the Connect 2030 Agenda |
 |
Recommendation ITU-T L.1031 describes a three-step approach to achieve the e-waste targets set in the Connect 2030 Agenda. These steps consist of guidance on developing an e-waste inventory, approaches to design e-waste prevention and reduction programmes and the supportive measures required for successfully implementing the Connect 2030 e-waste targets.
This Recommendation is intended to be utilized by relevant stakeholders, for example, national authorities in charge of ICTs and communications, e-waste and waste management authorities, ministries of the environment, local authorities and entities involved in e-waste management, to take their first step in addressing target 3.2 of the Connect 2030 Agenda that is to increase the global ewaste recycling rate to 30% and target 3.3 that is to raise the percentage of countries with e-waste legislation to 50%.
