Abstract
This chapter explains how a corporate waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) management strategy represents more than a focus on collection rates or recycling quotes. It is rather a company-wide resource-conserving philosophy that considers the complete life cycle of a product. The overall WEEE management strategy can contain particular strategies for refurbishment of electronic devices and systems, reuse of components, extraction of spare parts, and recycling. To increase the company's WEEE management efficiency, some existing procedures will have to change and new ones will have to be created. This chapter discusses the use of a database to check the conformity of materials to regulations, the design of electronic products for reuse and recycling, the reduction of WEEE by optimizing material use in a product, and the need for close cooperation with component suppliers as means to improve the efficiency of WEEE management.
