Abstract
The aim of this research is to inform the transformation of the e-waste management in Dunedin by shifting the focus from recycling to activities higher in the waste hierarchy (for example, redesigning, reducing and refurbishing). Previous research has identified the importance and potential solutions of creating a circular economy for e-waste, but few have addressed the context of Dunedin's social and environmental economy. To gain insight into how Dunedin’s climate influences the e-waste management system, semi-structured interviews were conducted with stakeholders involved in the production, processing and diversion of e-waste.
 The interviews focused on understanding current e-waste management practices, identified barriers and explored opportunities for collaboration with other stakeholders. This research hopes to generate recommendations to improve e-waste management in Dunedin that may be adopted in other areas to support sustainable consumption and production patterns.
