Abstract

The problem of waste generation of electronic and electrical equipment today is one of the most
actual. The quantity of electronic and electrical equipment is growing in the market with great speed,
however, due to technical progress, they quickly become obsolete. As a result, a huge amount of equipment is accumulated all over the world, which must be utilized and recycled. It is established that the
electronic and electrical equipment includes a whole range of toxic substances that are harmful to the
environment and human health. However, with proper recycling of waste equipment, these substances
are a valuable raw material, which can subsequently be reused for manufacturing new components. An
innovative criterion for technologies for processing electronic and electrical waste can be assessed from
the point of view of economic, environmental and social effects. Foreign experience in managing elec tronic waste has been briefly analyzed and the concept of electronic waste management and the concept
of product management, which are the most common in developed countries, are considered. Presented
some data on the disposal of electronic waste management in the Republic of Kazakhstan at the present
stage and marked achievements and problems on the way to effective processing of electronic waste in
the republic. It is noted that in Kazakhstan there is a basis for the development of a waste management
system for electronic and electrical equipment, but cooperation is required, as well as borrowing of foreign experience, which would certainly help to solve the problems in this area more quickly.
Key words: waste electrical and electronic equipments, hazardous substances, utilization, processing (recycling), environment.
