The E-Waste Gap: The Need for Education and Awareness

The National Sustainability in Business Conference will be held in Brisbane from the 23-24 March 2017. The Conference theme ‘Renewables – Markets – Innovation – Opportunities – Capital’ will address the need for sustainable business practices, and what this means in today’s ever-changing world.

Ms Carmel Dollisson, CEO of the Australia and New Zealand Recycling Platform Ltd joins us next month to discuss ‘The E-Waste Gap: The Need for Education and Awareness’.

Ms Carmel Dollisson

E-waste is becoming harder to find, presenting a challenge to a Scheme like the National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme, which has defined annual targets for collection volume.

This presentation explores how the e-waste collection/recycling industry needs to undertake work to better understand the true e-waste stream, and what should be done to make that stream more active and regularly replenished.  Education and awareness are vital to the success of e-waste recycling in Australia, along with a greater level of shared responsibility by all participants.
