TechSoup Global Organizes E-Waste Conference in South Africa

June 7, 2013 E-Waste and Refurbishment Standards Conference, Cape Town

 

Organized by TechSoup Global, Mico E-Waste Solutions and hosted by Microsoft, participants will include leaders in the African electronics recycling industry, policy makers, the UNIDO, Microsoft, and Wordloop.

 

This is a meeting to share information on the current state of African electronics recycling and refurbishment policy and practice.

 

Special emphasis will be placed on emerging standards to assure the responsible recycling of used electronics in ways that protect the environment, improve operations, insure worker health and safety, improve data security, and successfully compete in the world market.

 

This effort will join industry and government and put into action some of the precepts developed at the 2012 United Nation’s Pan-African Forum on E-Waste in Nairobi, Kenya.
