UNESCO prepares guides on computer recycling

UNESCO gathered a group of partners to produce two guides to encourage the development of sustainable computer recycling plants.

The development of the Information Society and the efforts to reduce the digital divide have significantly increased the importation of computer equipment (new and second hand) in developing countries. Considering the need to develop local capacities in managing these materials and the lack of training tools, UNESCO gathered a group of partners around the idea of developing a series of training modules in this area.
