Project Summary

One of the priority areas for the Republic of Kazakhstan is the development of a waste management system. Kazakhstan's state policy in the field of waste management is defined by several strategic documents on the green economy and carbon neutrality. Electronic waste management in Kazakhstan should be carried out in accordance with the principles of a circular economy, according to which the total amount of unmanaged electronic waste will be halved by 2050 — from 84 million tons to 4 million tons — by including it in the system of "managed" electronic waste through collection and recycling.p> Recycling electronic waste can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. During the disposal of electronic waste, a significant portion of its components can be recovered or recycled, reducing the need to produce new components and, thus, lowering greenhouse gas emissions associated with the extraction and production of new materials.

The development of an electronic waste management system in Kazakhstan under the "Circular Economy" scenario will prevent approximately 95% of greenhouse gas emissions.
