What is e-waste4
“E-waste, refers to all items of electrical and electronic
equipment (EEE) and its parts that have been discarded by its
owner as waste without the intent of re-use”

Harmonized framework to measure e-waste: The Partnership Measuring ICT for Development
Objectives:
Framework based on internationally defined indicators:
1. Total EEE Put on the Market (unit kg/inh)
2. E-waste generated (unit kg/inh)
3. E-waste formally collected (unit kg/inh)
4. E-waste collection rate (%)
Statistical guidelines (in 2015 and 2018) http://collections.unu.edu/eserv/UNU:6477/RZ_EWaste_Guidelines_LoRes.pdf
Join forces with UNECE, OECD and UNSD to improve data coverage. This led to the use of pilot questionnaires on e-waste following the principles of the framework.

In preparation with UN Env: SDG 12.4.2
Hazardous waste generated per capita and proportion of hazardous waste treated, by type of treatment
In preparation: indicator on e-waste
E-waste definition is similar to our guidelines
E-waste generated means the total weight of e-waste resulting from EEE that had been placed on the market, prior to any activity such as collection, preparation for reuse, treatment, recovery, including recycling, or export.
The “environmentally sound management of e-waste” are performed under the requirements of national e-waste legislation. The national e-waste legislation ensures that hazardous constituents are managed in a manner which will protect human health and the environment against the adverse effects which may result from e-waste, and that the valuable fractions are recycled.
