This multi-stakeholder workshop will bring together invited guests from academic and research institutions, industry and non-profit organizations, government agencies, and international organizations to assess existing work characterizing transboundary flows of used electronics all over the world and to chart a path forward for collaborative data collection and characterization efforts. A sound characterization of the sources, destinations, and quantities of used electronics flows will inform strategic decision-making.
The workshop is being organized under the umbrella of the Solving the E-waste Problem (StEP) Initiative by the Materials Systems Laboratory (MSL) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the National Center for Electronics Recycling (NCER) using funding from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). (Note: participation is by invitation only.)
