Abstract

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.

非洲报废电子电气设备立法-现状和未来发展
一些非洲国家产生的废弃电气和电子设备的数量可以与一些东欧国家相比较,但其中许多国家除了自愿倡议和非正式部门之外,没有任何电气和电子设备立法和/或收集和处理系统。未来几年,市场上的电子电气设备的数量预计将增长100亿美元,重点是信息通信技术和光伏。本文考察了非洲国家现有的和计划中的报废电子电气设备立法,展示了各种报废电子电气设备系统的主要组成部分及其差异。
