WEEE legislation in Africa — Status and future developments
The volumes of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) generated in some African countries can be compared to those of some Eastern European countries, but many of them do not have any WEEE legislation and/or collection and treatment system in place besides voluntary initiatives and the informal sector. The volumes of EEE placed on the market are expected to grow by >7% in the coming years, with a focus on ICT and photovoltaics. The paper takes a look at the existing and planned legislation on WEEE in the African countries, showing the major components of the various WEEE systems and their differences.
