“…Among the heavy metals included in WEEE we can find mercury, lead, cadmium, and chromium, halogenated substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), as well as some flame retardants. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the risks and make integral e-waste management strategies [37,38].…”

Electronic waste is a widespread environmental problem. From all waste streams, e-waste is registering one of the largest growing rates (between 3% and 5%). In Mexico, the e-waste recovery system comprises a mix of formal and informal sectors not well known to date. The goal of this article was to analyze electronic waste in Mexico through the active actors in the recovery chain. This article presents the evolution of studies on electronic waste in Mexico. The legal regulations and public policies were analyzed, as were the existing practices of electronic waste handling, and some challenges facing this country for waste flow management. A management model is proposed which highlights components that must be considered in the model and the opportunities and challenges to transition from an unbundled handling, which still has practices that lack environmental and technical support, to sustainable management.

“…Following this definition, many scholars and research institutions have conducted numerous theoretical and practical studies on this policy. From the perspective of theory, OECD [1], Kibert [4] (2004), Lifset et al [5], and Kiddee et al [6] thoroughly discussed the meaning of EPR. OECD [1] provided an overview of key issues, such as general considerations and the potential benefits and costs associated with producers' responsibility to manage the waste generated by their products in the market.…”

Abstract:The establishment of an efficient reverse supply chain is important, especially in the electronics industry, considering the environmental and resource pressures worldwide. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), an important environmental policy approach, has been adopted extensively in various countries, and the effectiveness of its implementation has been proven through practical application. However, the establishment and development of EPR are lacking in most developing countries where collection and recycling systems are underdeveloped. This study addresses this problem by exploring the hierarchical relationship among the driving factors of EPR in the electronics industry in China and by identifying and ranking the factors that are critical in EPR implementation. As important managerial conclusions, research results show that EPR-related laws and regulations, the consciousness of senior executives, and corporate image are the three most important driving factors of EPR implementation.

“…With using multi-criteria and adaptive decision making models, they claimed their method is flexible to handle WEEE to meet the various requirements of stakeholders. According to Kiddee et al [10], electronic waste (e-waste) is one of the fastest-growing pollution problems worldwide, several tools including Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Material Flow Analysis (MFA), Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) have been developed to manage e-wastes. They expressed that using any one tool may be imperfect but in concert they can complement each other to solve this issue.…”

Abstract-In this paper, selection of outsourcing alternatives for waste of electrical and electronic equipment is performed with using fuzzy multi criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology. Related literature has been reviewed and the criteria are determined for evaluation. Five outsourcing firms are considered as alternatives for Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and they are ranked according to the closeness coefficients that obtained by the proposed method. Finally the most appropriate outsourcing firm for waste of electrical and electronic equipment is determined for metropolitan municipality.Index Terms-Fuzzy decision making, outsourcing, waste electrical and electronic equipment.
