Generation of E-waste
The true extent and generation of E-waste in the Philippines is largely unknown and
determining the quantities of E-waste is complicated as there is no official inventory of the
actual waste generated from electrical and electronic equipment. Several studies provide
estimation of the current and future quantities of E-waste generated based on certain
assumptions and local conditions (e.g. economic and population growth). In terms of
estimating and projecting the level of E-waste generation, very limited studies have been done
on this area.
