The WEEE report; Waste electrical and electronic equipment reuse and recycling in Canada - 2013

Abstract/summary

Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) recovery, reuse, and recycling continue to emerge as a challenging and highly political issue for both industry and government. In evaluating these initiatives, one must assess not only waste diversion performance, e.g., factors such as WEEE collection and recycling rates, but also net program costs, breadth of collection infrastructure, the effectiveness of consumer and market incentives for diversion, and the breakdown of who bears the costs of the recovery and disposal of WEEE. The WEEE Report 2013 aims to clarify and offer essential insight into the field of WEEE collection, reuse, and recycling programs in Canada. By offering current data and discerning analysis and by identifying a number of trends in WEEE collection, processing, refurbishment, and recycling, The WEEE Report provides a comprehensive examination of WEEE programs in Canada.
