Canadian governments began targeting the management of e-waste about 15 years ago
Advancement to support a comprehensive system for ESM has been an evolutionary process
Engagement has included a mix of:
1. actors
(e.g. governments, OEMs, e-recyclers, e-refurbishers, consumers)
2. instruments (e.g. EPR, regulations, procurement policies, landfill bans, other strategies)
Industry has been helpful along the way (e.g. standards development, program harmonization)
Lessons learned have been shared to benefit other countries
(e.g. UN Basel Convention, NAFTA CEC, OECD)
Transboundary movement issues represent a key outstanding challenge
(e.g. ambiguity regarding the application of Basel provisions to used electronics)
Canada continues to work with the international community to resolve critical e-waste issues
(e.g. UN Basel Convention)
