Luxon was hired by the International Telecommunication Union to develop an e- waste national policy and regulatory framework for Malawi, including a strategy and action plan to develop such policies and regulations.
The development of this objective entailed an assessment of the status of Malawi´s e-waste treatment and a forecast of e-waste volumes and values related to specific electronic devices: mobile phones, computers and television (TV) sets; laying the groundwork for mechanisms to control the import, reuse, recycling options and/ or production of information and communication technology (ICT) devices (mobile phones, computers, screens and TV sets); the identification of activities and responsibilities for each stakeholder, both private and public, involved in the sound management of e-waste; and the establishment of a financing model for the e-waste management system.
