International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC) of Division of Technology of United Nations Environment Programme is assisting member countries on Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM). IETC is also focusing on WEEE/E-waste management as a part of ISWM. As an initial step, to build the capacity, IETC has produced two manuals on WEEE/E-waste to assist the member countries and their cities to develop the inventories and WEEE/E-waste management systems.
Two manuals have been published on “E-waste Inventory” and “E-waste Management”. The first manual was prepared as a guidance document to support WEEE/E-waste inventorisation and assessment risks involved. The second manual gave guidance to develop and implement WEEE/E-waste management system.
The third manual of this series was created to serve as guidance for the practitioners and decision-makers in understanding, planning, designing and implementing WEEE/E-waste take-back schemes at a national and local level.
