Propuesta de lineamientos para normativa de la gestión de residuos de aparatos eléctricos y electrónicos en el Paraguay

Abstract

The objective of the present work was to establish the guidelines for a Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) management regulation in the Municipality of Asunción, including computers, notebooks and cell phones. The recommended guidelines were established based on the comparison of the main regional laws or regulations on the subject, among which we cite some of them: base the classification of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) according to the classification of the European directive, define historical waste and / or orphan wastes and those responsible for its disposition based on Costa Rican regulations and set collection goals. Once the regulations are in force, the Municipality of Asunción will have a national legal framework in order to present a municipal ordinance on the integral management of WEEE.
