Book excerpt: This work analyzes the management of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) conducted nationally (Bogota, Medellin, Cali and Barranquilla). The management of these materials involves all of the actors in the chain of generation, collection, processing and disposal. Also Identified are the main factors that limit and hinder their normal flow within the cycle of generating and recycling, on the one hand, and the impacts on the environment due to the improper disposal of hazardous substances found in them, and, on the other, a loss of valuable raw materials that are not brought into the production cycle of new materials or equipment. The deep analysis of this situation has allowed us to formulate a series of recommendations to minimize both the pressure on natural resources and possible effects on health, caused by the omission of environmentally sustainable practices in the recycling process.
