Description
A follow-up to the introduction to e-waste policy, this course is a key resource for understanding EPR's foundation and requirements, aimed at assisting in the production of e-waste policy and regulation.
Across the 6 modules, you will review the fundamentals of e-waste management, learn about the elements and instruments in an EPR based e-waste management system, and additional considerations/best practices in developing an effective and equitable legislative framework.
The course is designed for private and public sector stakeholders who will be involved in drafting policy and regulation for an e-waste management system.
This is a self-paced e-learning course. It should take you approximately 1.5 hours to finish. Each module ends with a knowledge check and the course is completed with a final quiz at the end. If you pass the final quiz with an 80% or higher score, you will receive a badge certifying successful completion of the course. The badge will become available after completion of the last quiz and the submission of the feedback form.
