A1 Garritano Pérez, Víctor
AB It is evident that, over the last decade, the technology industry has had a considerable globalexpansion, which may represent a great business opportunity in the coming years if theappropriate policies are implemented and the frameworks for action regarding themanagement of waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) are respected. Thisgrowth will bring with it a significant increase in waste belonging to the sector, which willgenerate a large stock of raw materials available for sale on the market, or as a supply forindustry or other types of industry.The generation and management of waste is a serious environmental problem in modernsocieties, hence the existence of a European waste policy. The abandonment or inadequatemanagement of waste has a significant impact on the receiving environments and can causepollution of water, soil and air, contribute to climate change and affect ecosystems andhuman health. However, when waste is properly managed, it becomes a resource thatcontributes to saving raw materials, conserving natural resources and the climate and, inshort, to sustainable development.In Spain, more specifically in La Palma, Canary Islands, the current model of managementof this kind of electronic waste could be improved and updated, since It is mostly based onstorage techniques. Changing this way of management could result in a more efficient andself-sufficient process related to this type of waste.
