Mapping of informal sector involved in e-waste collection

The report is an output of work done within the framework of the Sustainable Recycling Industries (SRI) project being implemented by the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Sciences (EMPA) as mandated by the State Secretariat of Economic Affairs (SECO) of Switzerland. The main objective of this task is to map the informal sector involved in WEEE collection and dismantling, to identify and design a platform that could integrate the material flow (sales) from informal sector and households to formal sector, and to allow financial transfers. The geographic scope of the mapping is the Greater Cairo Area (GCA).
