Transition to Circular Economy: A Strategic Support for Small and Medium Enterprises in the Waste of Electronic and Electronic Equipment Sector.

Agenda 2030 imposes calls on businesses and countries to engage in sustainable consumption and production. This is supported by the emerged view of the circular economy. Proponents of the circular economy argue for businesses to shift from the use of the linear model (take, make and dispose of) to circular business model based on reuse, resource efficiency, sharing economy and closed-loop. This is critical in the pre-production, during production and post-production and consumption of e-waste. Ghana is one of the world's leading recipient of e-waste. The paper focuses on the technical, legal and policy interventions and their impact of e-waste management. Using mixed methods, the paper concludes there are four major impacts of e-waste including social, health, economic and environment. Majority of the SMEs in the e-waste business are unregistered. An avenue for continuous capacity building for the businesses in this sector and investments in technologies could help improve the current works processes of the venture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
