E-waste management and practices
End-of-life of electronics in the Philippines mainly involve four phases; reuse, storage, recycle
and landfilling. Finished electronic products (personal computers, cellphones, PDAs) are
mainly imported and the supply chain of electronics starts from importation and end up with
landfilling or exportation of processed electronic scraps for further processing (e.g. smelting).
The flow of materials of EEE in the Philippines is shown in Figure 3-1.
