Monitoring and Verification
Accurate data collection is the foundation of effective e-waste management. Foncham monitors e-waste quantities and flows to evaluate trends over time, set actionable goals, and drive sustainable solutions. By developing recycling infrastructure and legal frameworks based on reliable data, we bring clarity to transboundary movements and combat illegal shipments.
Reporting and Statistics
Transparency is key to progress. Foncham gathers e-waste data from countries using internationally standardized methods and makes this information publicly available through our open-source E-waste Database. We collaborate with policymakers, statisticians, and industry leaders to enhance data quality, interpretation, and accessibility. With these insights, nations can create informed policies aligned with a globally harmonized measurement framework.
Reporting and Statistics
We advocate for robust legislation and behavioral change inspired by the WEEE Directives, Basel Convention, Stockholm Treaty, Paris Treaty, and Bamako Treaty. These directives provide comprehensive frameworks for e-waste classification, transboundary movement, and recycling performance. Foncham supports their implementation by offering practical guidelines and methodologies to compile internationally comparable statistics.
Incentive Scheme
Encouraging positive action is central to our strategy. Foncham promotes take-back schemes and incentive mechanisms that channel e-waste toward certified facilities rather than improper recycling or dumping. By motivating waste generators and informal recyclers, we foster environmentally sound practices and responsible resource recovery.
