e-waste country assessment Peru on computers and cellphones available (in spanish)

The country assessment Peru on e-waste from computers and cellphones has recently been terminated and is now available. IPES, a peruvian NGO specialised in waste management issues has been contracted by Empa for studying the e-waste situation in Peru as regards to computers and cellphones. The country assessment has been realized in the context of the extension of the Swiss e-waste Programme to Latin-America and the Carribbean (LAC). This programme financed by the Swiss State Secretariate of Economic Affairs seco is implemented under the guidance of Empa. The programme in Peru is implemented in parallel to a similar cooperation with Colombia. Meanwhile various responsible public and actors in both countries have formed national committees which adress the topic of sound e-waste management.

The report is available in spanish.
