TL;DR: Life cycle assessment of the collection, transport and recycling of various types of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in Norway shows that small amounts of critical materials (refrigerants, precious/trace metals) are vital for the overall environmental accounts of the value chains.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated consumer decision-making in this area and how it might be positively influenced by environmental messaging and suggested how the re-framing of environmental messages concerning mobile recycling could ultimately give rise to higher rates of recycling.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the factors that might influence policy and decision-making in this area, with a view to minimising overall environmental impact, and provide a sector-wide perspective on these issues.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify thousands of tonnes per annum of potential enhanced plastics recycling from Nordic electronic waste, which does not always feature prominently in waste treatmen, but could be a promising source of new jobs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the issue of whether further improvements are possible by introducing factors typically absent, such as the level of environmental burden associated with consumer purchases, and the consumer demand.
