Particularities of the Management System for Phone Mobiles Waste in Romania
Keywords:
waste management, mobile phones, collecting, recycling, infrastructure, education
Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to characterize the management system for mobile phones in Romania. The dimension of cell phone waste flow and the problems related to the collecting and recycling of this waste were considered. The study includes the characterization of behaviour of Romanian consumers, the regulations framework and the responsibilities of all actors involved in the cell phones lifecycle. The recycling and collecting practices in this sector are presented.
