E-waste waste: origin and assessment
Discarded equipment, components and assemblies.
Keep the generating process with the material
Record where the stream is generated, its composition and known contaminants. Keep different streams identifiable and retain the evidence used to assess their condition.
Compare recovery and treatment routes
Ask the intended receiver what information it requires for this specific stream. Review inputs, exclusions, handling conditions and residual outputs before agreeing a route.
Retain a traceable handover record
Connect the material description, quantity and collection date to the receiving facility. Check any discrepancy and record acceptance separately from collection.
