  1. What is the problem?

  2. What ITU is Doing to Tackle E-waste and Protect the Environment? What can we all do?

  3. Highlights on SG5 - Q21“Environmental Protection and Recycling of ICT Equipments/Facilities” Some of the tasks include: Environmentally friendly standardization Share national experiences and knowledge related to environmental and sustainability aspects Determine process to analyze the effect on the environment of products and ways to minimize them. Assess environmental effects of recycling related to ICT facilities, equipments, etc. Analyze safe, low-cost social recirculation of ICT equipments through recycling and reuse.

  4. Recommendation ITU-T L.1000 Universal Mobile Charger Q21 Saves 82,000 tons of waste per year

  5. ONGOING - Recommendation onUniversal Power SupplyAn ITU-GeSI Energy-aware Survey on ICT Device Power Supplies • Study on a wide set (more than 300) of External Power Supplies (EPSs) • Found major opportunity to reduce e-waste and weight • Main outcomes on e-waste: • 1.000.000 tons of EPSs are produced every year • There is the opportunity to go for standardization • Careful design could save 300.000 tons of e-waste/year • A standardized solution could save more than 500.000 tons of e-waste/year the report points to an urgent need for standards to correct glaring inefficiencies in the EPS production process Best way to deal with e-waste is to avoid its creation
