Abstract

Waste is driven by a variety of factors and as well electronic waste, as a specific category of waste. Studying the factors that influence the collection of e-waste offers a huge opportunity in improving the ways to collect and recycle e-waste, taking into consideration that all countries have national targets for the amount of e-waste to be collected and recycled. The undertaken analysis gives a macroeconomic perspective on these factors. The authors use a panel data approach for constructing a regression model and for substantiating the influence of certain independent variables on the Collection rate of e-waste. The findings of the estimation suggest that the Age of a person has the highest impact on the collection rate of WEEE, followed by the Unemployment rate, which is a factor describing the social condition of a society. The variable regarding education has no relevant influence on the collection rate of WEEE while the lowest influence is reported for the variable dealing with the minimum level of wages, a proxy for the population’s income.
