Recommendations
1. There is a need for increase public awareness activities about e-waste in
general and most importantly the risks and dangers about e-waste.
awareness should leverage on expanding use of social media & mobile based
applications
Need to enhance e-waste awareness in schools – through e-waste activities like
e-waste clubs, challenges/competitions and curriculum
