6. 1. Core challenge to your sustainability strategy and relevant to stakeholders STAKEHOLDERCHALLENGERELEVANCY ICT4DEVELOPMENT (Close the Gap) Lack of sustainable recycling solutions in country CT4D promotes zero waste to landfills through responsible reuse, not having a local solution threatens the communities ICT4D aims to support LOCAL PRACTITIONERS (WEEE Centre) Lack of knowledge and expertise to treat e-waste in a sustainable fashion Poses risks to their individual and community health, increases pollution, TAKE-BACK SYSTEMS (Recupel) Awareness that occasions of illegal e- waste leakages still occur Beyond compliance leadership supporting a solution that is impacted by their role in Belgium RECYCLING INDUSTRY (Coolrec, Umicore, etc) Inability to access hazardous fractions for treatment (too small-scale to be commercially plausible). Beyond core business sustainable leadership and helps to incubate presales conditions in these countries. IGO’S (UNIDO) Limited ability to maintain continued maintenance and monitoring on an ongoing basis Key to the overall strategy for green economies but focus on scaling up, need support in day-to-day management of projects
