1 9 th World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators Meeting (WTIM-11) Mauritius, 7-9 December 2011 Contribution to WTIM-11 session Document C/25-E 8 December 2011 English SOURCE: TITLE: CEDARE and STeP Solving the E-Waste Problem (StEP) Initiative Measurement activities towards sustainable solutions
2 Solving the E-Waste Problem (StEP) Initiative Measurement activities towards sustainable solutions Hossam Allam, Ruediger Kuehr, Jaco Huisman, Cédric Gossart Mauritius, 9 Dec. 2011
3 StEP Vision StEP envisions a future in which societies have reduced to a sustainable level the e-waste-related burden on the ecosystem that results from the design, production, use and disposal of electrical and electronic equipment. These societies make prudent use of lifetime extension strategies in which products and components and the resources contained in them become raw materials for new products StEP SOLVING THE E-WASTE PROBLEM 2
4 StEP Objectives Solving the E-waste Problem (StEP) Initiative was created to Initiate and facilitate environmentally, economically & socially sound approaches to reduce e-waste flows and handle them in a sustainable way around the globe (1) Functions as a network of actors who share experiences and best practices (2) Carries out research and development projects (3) Disseminates experiences, best practices and recommendations StEP SOLVING THE E-WASTE PROBLEM 3
5 StEP Core Principles 1. StEP's work is founded on scientific assessments including social, environmental and economic aspects 2. StEP conducts research on the entire life-cycle of electronic and electrical equipment 3. StEP's research and pilot projects are meant to contribute to the solution of e-waste problems 4. StEP condemns all illegal activities related to e-waste including illegal shipments 5. StEP seeks to foster safe and eco/energy-efficient reuse and recycling practices around the globe in a socially responsible manner StEP SOLVING THE E-WASTE PROBLEM 4
6 Membership StEP invites pro-active: Companies Governmental Organizations Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) International Organizations Academic Institutions from around the world to become a member Members have to agree with the StEP principles through signing a Memorandum of Understanding between all StEP members

9 Task Force Policy Analyzes the status of existing policy approaches on e-waste, and elaborates policy recommendations for future developments... Project @ White Paper Recast WEEE Directive White Paper Take-Back Systems and Design Guidelines Research Study Best e-waste policies Project EEE and Climate Change Green Paper on E-waste Indicators White Paper on Transboundary Shipments (with Task Force ReUse) working phase, $ acquisition phase,? idea phase StEP SOLVING THE E-WASTE PROBLEM 8
10 Task Force Policy E-Waste Indicators Objective: identify best policy practices used by governments when trying to solve the e-waste problem - to understand how the policies of countries can be improved - the extent to which they can serve as an example for other countries, - to understand which instruments work best in a given context, Approach: comparatively evaluate the performance of e- waste policies in four European countries (Belgium, Netherlands, France and Switzerland StEP SOLVING THE E-WASTE PROBLEM 9
11 Task Force Policy E-Waste Indicators Results: A methodology allowing to construct the e- waste profile of a country capable of reporting all these indicators in a comparable way. An alternative to the use of indicators to identify the factors conducive to best policy practices capable of solving the e-waste problem StEP SOLVING THE E-WASTE PROBLEM 10
12 Task Force ReDesign dedicated to product design aspects to reduce negative impacts of the entire life cycle of electronics Project overview: DfR Case Studies Library Research study Wearable Computers End-of-Life Implications Closing the Loop? Project Certification Technology for Recycling Plastic working phase, $ acquisition phase,? idea phase StEP SOLVING THE E-WASTE PROBLEM 11
13 Task Force ReUse defines globally consistent re-use practices, principles, and standards to enhance re-use opportunities, change consumer behaviour & reduce sham reuse Project overview (samples): Conference 1 st World ReUse Forum White Paper One Global Understanding of Re-use Common Definitions Case studies synthesis Best practices in White Paper on Transboundary Shipments (with Task Force Policy)?

16 Annual Dynamic Digital Reporting on the global E-waSte Status (ADDRESS) Size of the problem remains largely unclear! How much e-waste is generated? How much thereof gets properly collected and treated? How much goes to developing countries? What is the scope of e-waste? What are the developments over time? StEP initiated Annual Dynamic Digital Reporting on the global E-waSte Status (ADDRESS) To inform e-waste related researchers with up-todate and solid data on e-waste globally To enable policy-makers to make better informed decisions E-Waste How do we ADDRESS the problem? 15
17 Part 1: Amounts Amounts: (1) EEE POM (put on market) (2) WEEE Generated (3) WEEE C&T (collected & treated) Characteristics: Per country For product categories, subgroups and individual appliances Approach: Standardized data input format Aggregation and validation of results from multiple modelling approaches Standardised reporting of results Part 1 b. Iterative Modelling Module E-Waste How do we ADDRESS the problem? 16
18 Part 2: Progress Tracking Reporting on the e-waste solution per country/state over time Characteristics: Additional criteria: status of legislation, presence of consumer education, availability of recycling infrastructure, Applicable for developed & developing countries Approach: (1) Selection of criteria (2) Application of country benchmark (3) Reporting into country specific progress indicators Part 2: Progress tracking E-waste How do we ADDRESS the problem? 17
19 Part 3: Information Hub Provide smart access to e- waste knowledge Characteristics: Enhance knowledge exchange between existing platforms Streamline information Identify gaps from a worldwide prespective and try to fill these Approach: (1) Gathering additional information per country (2) Development of database and links with existing tools (3) Continuous online reporting (online, annual reports, journal papers) E-waste How do we ADDRESS the problem? 18
