The NATIONAL E-WASTE MONITOR 2023 – KAZAKHSTAN provides an assessment of statistics, legislation, and management infrastructure of e-waste in Kazakhstan. With a projected population of 24 million people in Kazakhstan and an increased consumption of EEE per person, the amount of e-waste generation is expected to grow from 7 kg per capita (136.1 million kg in total) in 2019 to 18 kg per capita in 2050 (432 million kg in total). The report provides recommendations and a practical national roadmap for environmentally sound management of future e-waste developed as part of national stakeholder dialogues.
A working document on the development of a methodology for measuring the progress on e-waste management legislation globally has been prepared by the Global E-waste Statistics Partnership for consultation. Anyone is invited to provide feedback on the methodology to calculate a global e-waste indicator on legislation, to provide suggestions on the practical steps needed to be taken for the implementation of the indicator and to support with determining the applicability of the methodology in like with the e-waste targets of the International Telecommunication Union. The deadline for inputs (contact details in the document) is 31st July 2022.
The Global E-waste Monitor 2017 provides the most comprehensive overview of global e-waste statistics and an unprecedented level of detail, including an overview of the magnitude of the e-waste problem in different regions. The report includes up-to-date information on the amounts of e-waste generated and recycled, makes predictions until 2021, and provides information on the progress made in terms of e-waste legislation.
The Global E-waste Monitor 2020 provides the most comprehensive overview of the global e-waste challenge, explains how it fits into international efforts to reach the Sustainable Development Goals, and discusses how to create a sustainable society and circular economy. The report provides a national and regional analysis on e-waste quantities and legislative instruments, and makes predictions until 2030. It also encourages decision-makers to increase activities to measure and monitor e-waste using an internationally recognised methodological framework.

The e-waste statistics guidelines on classification reporting and indicators propose a sound measurement framework that integrates available statistical data and non-statistical data sources into e-waste statistics to improve comparability between countries. The framework captures the most important elements of e-waste and is relevant to all countries that aim to gather data and compile statistics on e-waste.
