1. E-Waste Statistics 1.1. E-Waste key aspects 1.2. E-Waste Mobile Composition 1.3. E-Waste around the world E-Waste in LATAM Region
E-Waste key aspects The heterogeneity and evolution of products, in terms of size, weight, function and material composition, and subsequently, in environmental impact at end-of-life (EoL) The continuous introduction of new products and features (tablets, for example) calls for continuous development of appropriate EoL treatment technologies;
E-Waste key aspects The presence or phasing out of certain constituent elements or potentially hazardous substances in appliances that require proper treatment; The relatively high use of certain precious metals and critical resources (e.g., gold, silver, ruthenium, indium, platinum group metals or rare earth elements) and the challenges in their recovery due to the “dissipated” nature of the low-concentration elements and the technological complexity involved in recovering them in recycling processes
