13. Waste handling and disposal
Stage: Methodology Idea Note
Methodology Development ID #: M0197
AMS-III.BA.: Recovery and recycling of materials from E-waste is a small-scale CDM methodology eligible under the VCS Program. E-waste (waste electrical and electronic equipment) contains rare and precious metals that require specific technologies to extract and refine them. Eligible project activities include recovering and processing E-waste into secondary materials, thus displacing the production of virgin materials, resulting in energy savings and reduced GHG emissions. The proposed revision involves broadening the scope to allow for large-scale projects and incentivizing the development of low-emission recycling technologies.
SUMMARY OF DEVELOPMENT
