Application of WEEE / E-waste inventorization methodology using tracer tracking along material flow in EEE lifecycle in developing country

E-waste inventory and its future projections form the basis of any intervention for E-waste management. However, E-waste inventory estimation in developing country is constrained by lack of reliable data. In such scenario, a combination of ldquomarket supply methodrdquo followed by tracer tracking is used to arrive at E-waste inventory in a geographical area. The efficacy of this approach and methodology has been tested and demonstrated in three cities of Delhi, Mumbai and Pune in India.
