Furthermore, except the investments and the infrastructure, in the first steps of the system development a cost
benefit analysis should be performed. Since a management system has to be viable and cost effective, an analysis
and estimation of the costs and the revenues needs to take place. It is necessary to design a system that will be
profitable for the main stakeholders and advantageous compared to other options of disposal. The ultimate goal of
the analysis is to identify the most optimal and appropriate ways to achieve total cost minimization and increase of
profit. The optimal and the most efficient way of collection, treatment strategy, facility location, storage and
transportation of obsolete ICT product are some of the options that are checked in the cost benefit analysis.
