Abstract

Facing the overgrowth of electric and electronic waste (e-waste) and the absence of a structured Brazilian policy that defines the responsibilities to the organization of a reverse chair of electronics, this article compares laws from The United States, China, India (all of which are large generators of e-waste) and Switzerland (pioneer country in e-waste management) to the homeland legislation. Through qualitative research, a systematic literature review was adopted, which identified similarities and differences within legislation regarding electronic waste management among the countries. This study also indicates the need for a Brazilian standardization that defines the roles of stakeholders involved in e-waste management, as well as global standardization to facilitate an international cooperation in the sharing of recycling technologies and production processes and sustainable disposal of e-waste.
