Request for your ideas and presence at an international workshop to develop innovative project proposals for e-waste in the Asia Pacific region, and Conference Agenda
The existing services of IECQ, together with the SERI R2 standard, cover the entirety of a product lifecycle and provide unique opportunities for industry led e-waste initiatives.
The IEC Global Impact Fund (IEC–GIF) advances the vision of “a safer and more efficient world” and demonstrates the catalytic impact of international standards and conformity assessment systems in addressing many of today’s social, economic and environmental challenges and in ensuring that technology and quality infrastructure have a positive impact on society. Harnessing such technical solutions and best practices can help address some of the most urgent, global issues such as climate change, energy access and waste management.
As part of its project portfolio expansion into the Asia-Pacific region, IEC would like to solicit feedback on the following question: ‘What industry led projects could Australia and New Zealand initiate to improve the circular economy for electronics and electrical goods in the Asia Pacific Region?’

In addition, we encourage you to send suggestions of project proposals to tsb@jasanz.org, cc Matt Doherty at the IEC Global Impact Fund (matthew.doherty@iec.ch).
We hope you enjoyed reading our discussion paper. We look forward to hearing your ideas for innovative industry-led projects for e-waste in the Asia Pacific, and seeing you in person in Brisbane (Rydges South Bank, 9 Glenelg Street, South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) or online on Thursday 18 April 2024.
