Impacts of (W)EEE on Climate Change Production (EEE) • Use of Natural resources (particularly precious & special metals) • Energy consumption • Primary emissions (CFC containing) > GHG gases • Mitigate resource use (recycling society) • Re-USE impacts linked to production prevention • Role of ICT in mitigating Climate Change > GHG gases 7 Sept 2011 End-of-Life (WEEE) Use (EEE) ITU Green Standards Week - Rome Only under proper recycling 7

The role of e-waste worldwide • Global Estimates for 2015: 58, 9 Mt/y • More than 600 Mt CO 2 eq potential (under EU scenario) • Growing number of countries being covered by ewaste bills • Limited EEE covered (hardly C&F appliances, Lamps) • No specific targets on EEE categories (collection & treatment) • No specific requirements on: • Pre-processing (e. g. ensuring efficient GHG gas removal) • End-processing (e. g. ensuring proper recovery of precious & special metals) • Countries without any e-waste bill 7 Sept 2011 ITU Green Standards Week - Rome 8
