This training manual about safe and sound handling of electric and electronic waste (e-waste) was developed within the framework of the German Cooperation programme for “Environmentally Sound Disposal & Recycling of E-Waste” (E-Waste Programme, 08/2016 – 01/2020), with its objective to support the Ghanaian Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI) to improve the conditions for sustainable management of e-waste in Ghana. Part of the programme includes capacity development for actors in the informal sector, promoting individual skills and organisational structures of those directly involved in the collection and resource recovery. In order to avoid health and environmental risks, the programme supports e-waste collectors and recyclers who are willing to change their methods. To achieve this goal, a consortium of international experts (WRF – World Resources Forum, St. Gallen, Switzerland, DRZ – Demontage- und Recycling-Zentrum, Vienna, Austria, SAEWA – Southern African E-Waste Alliance, Cape Town, South Africa, RECLITE – Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Recycling, Germiston, South Africa, GWR - gemeinnützige Gesellschaft für Wiederverwendung und Recycling mbH) developed a training of trainers course specifically targeted at the situation at Old Fadama scrap yard in Accra, to be held at the newly adapted training facilities. Local partners’ contributions came from EPA – Environmental Protection Agency (providing assistance as to the e-waste related national legislation), NYA – National Youth Authority (spatial resources and contacts to relevant environmental groups), and Chance for Children (charity ready to take over the administration of following trainings). As a basic manual for e-waste trainers, this publication assembles compact information about e-waste in theory (definitions, global and local implications), practical dismantling of different types of equipment, output fractions after manual dismantling, the management of a small scale recycling facility (including the calculation of business opportunities), and the organising of trainings. An annex comprises contacts and references as well as templates that can be used in future workshops. We wish you successful trainings!
