Nations University (UNU), International Telecommunication Union (ITU) &

International Solid Waste Association (ISWA), Bonn/Geneva/Rotterdam, 120.

Summary: This report provides comprehensive information on the generation, composi-

tion, and management of e-waste globally, based on data from various sources.

Quotation: "E-waste is the fastest-growing waste stream globally, and its management

and disposal represent a major challenge for the environment and human health." (p. 1)

Discussion: The report highlights the need for effective e-waste management policies

and international cooperation to mitigate negative impacts. This report is a valuable re-

source for understanding the current state of e-waste globally and will be useful in your

research on Computer and Electronic Equipment Recycling.
