The Entrepreneur's Guide to Computer Recycling
Authors : Benoit VARIN and Pierre-Etienne ROINAT

The purpose of this guidebook is to help develop the skills required to 
handle the growing flux of waste generated by the new and used computer 
markets for the benefit of the environment and public health. Problems 
generated by this computer waste are affecting the world in general and 
developing countries in particular. It represents the negative side of 
the reduction in the digital divide in a world where one billion PCs 
were expected to be in use this year and one billion mobile phones were 
expected to be sold.

It also aims to support the emergence of new business opportunities. It 
should prove useful for NGOs and local development stakeholders in 
fostering small and micro entrepreneurships.

The guidebook is available free of charge online. In addition, its open 
license will allow interested parties to create versions adapted to 
local condition and particular contexts.
