E-waste recycling value chain

In this section of the module, we’ll be exploring the EEE value chain.

The electronics’ value chain can be divided as into 3 phases.

  • Production
  • Use
  • End-of-use-life

1. Production

Extraction of resources

Processing of the resources

Designing of EEE

Manufacturing or Remanufacturing of the devices

2. Use

Transport of the manufactured devices

Use of the electrical and electronic devices

3. End-of-use-life

Reuse of the WEEE

Repair of the WEEE

Recycling of the WEEE

Disposal of the WEEE

The arrow represents a “circular economy case”.
