  2. Purpose of study Provide sufficient data about current e-waste diversion infrastructure and residential stockpile volume so that the Board can make informed policy decisions.

  3. Scope of services • E-waste focused on: • televisions • computer monitors • CPUs • Infrastructure focused on: • diversion, not disposal or total generation • primary processors (resale, refurbish) • secondary processors (demanufacture)

  4. Scope of services • Identify current capacity. • Project 2006 diverted e-waste volume. • Determine whether future volume of e-waste exceeds current capacity. • Estimate the cost of processing the “excess” volume. • Identify CRT volume stored in California households.

  5. Methodology • Processors surveyed to identify processing capacity, volume processed, and cost to process. • 2006 volume based on 2 models: • historical averages • processors’ self-reporting

  6. Methodology • 2001 capacity and 2006 volume compared to determine gap. • Average processing cost applied to gap to calculate cost of processing additional volume. • California households surveyed to understand residential stockpiling volume and behavior.

  7. Findings: Current capacity

  8. Findings: Future volume

  9. Findings: Future volume

  10. Findings: Gap analysis

  11. Findings: Gap analysis 62,000+ Tons

  12. Findings: Cost of gap

  13. Findings: Total cost

  14. Findings: Current stockpile • Percent of households that stockpile • Televisions: 18.5 percent • Computer monitors: 19.4 percent • Current stockpile volume • 73,600 tons of TVs • 47,800 tons of monitors • Volume of televisions stockpiled is 8-10 times greater than projected volume to be processed in 2006.

  15. Summary Findings • Future volume of CRTs exceeds current capacity to process them. • Processors predict a smaller increase in processing volume than historical trends would predict. • Some processors deterred from handling CRT-containing e-waste.

  16. Conclusions • Impact of loss of processors is uncertain. • Large secondary processors may be the linchpin to capacity. • Loss of small processors may mean loss of convenient access to diversion.

  17. Conclusions • Introducing new outlets for diversion may mitigate loss of local processors. • Board may wish to monitor processing market.

  18. Considerations • Variables that may affect the supply (volume) of diverted e-waste: • CRT and CPU sales trends • Sales remain high through 2006 • Changing technology trends • Current trends will not alter e-waste volume in near term • Shifts in householders’ behaviors • Release of stockpile can have great impact

  19. Considerations • Variables that may affect the demand (capacity) for diverted e-waste: • Processors enter diversion market • Atwater federal prison • More processors may be identified through reporting requirements
