dc.descriptionIn order to achieve the call ‘From Waste to Resources’, an integrated waste policy and management, which addresses environmental impacts along the whole life-cycle of products, materials and processes, is crucial. According to the 3R Principle – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, recycling reduces waste going to final disposal, decreases consumption of natural resources and improves energy efficiency. It is, in this respect, a key process, which can be improved through innovative and more effective processes and technologies. With respect to the 3R Principle the focus of this study is on recycling. Nevertheless, emphasis on reuse as an important part in this hierarchy is necessary by underlining the needs of appropriate collection, careful dismantling and creation of output qualities suitable for reuse. The study, structured in three parts, has the following three main objectives: (1) Analysis of the market potential of relevant technologies for the e-waste recycling sector in selected developing countries, (2) Examination of the application of the ‘Framework for UNEP Technology Transfer Activities in Support of Global Climate Change Objectives’ in order to foster the transfer of innovative technologies in the e-waste recycling sector, (3) Identification of innovation hubs and centres of excellence in emerging economies relevant for e-waste recycling technologies.en
