Biedt technologie een duurzame oplossing voor lokale behoeften in het Zuiden? Technologie en technologische ontwikkeling reiken tal van mogelijkheden aan: ontzilten van zeewater, zonne-energie, biogas, biofuels, waterkrachtcentrales ... Die nieuwe technologieën zijn niet alleen doel op zich, maar ook middel om een ruimere geïntegreerde sociaal-maatschappelijke ontwikkeling te stimuleren.

41. Hoe ontwikkel je technologie in het Zuiden?
Hoe implementeer en consolideer je die technologie?
Hoe zorg je ervoor dat 'de motor blijft draaien' als de technici, al dan niet van een
partner-instelling, weer naar huis gaan?
Hoe zorg je voor een (h)echte samenwerking met lokale partners?
Met welke problemen zou zulk proces gepaard kunnen gaan?

114. 15 May 2013 - Karel De Grote Hogeschool 11
Umicore and WorldLoop announced the
strategic partnership in 2012
Umicore is:
1. knowledge partner to WorldLoop and their facilities in Africa, sharing
information, knowledge and practical experiences.
2. recycling partner for the fractions where no appropriate local solution is
available.
The cooperation enables us to work with small enterprises in developing
countries, and enables them among others to use best available
technologies and use the proceeds to finance recycling of all fractions.

About WorldLoop
WorldLoop is an international non-profit
organization committed to extending the positive
impact of ICT projects in developing countries by
offsetting the negative environmental impact of
its hardware.
Through facilitating the creation of accessible,
environmentally sound, socially responsible and
sustainable e-waste recycling solutions in these
regions and a pragmatic ‘like-for-like’ recycling
based on the sale and management of E-resource
certificates,
WorldLoop turns e-waste into
sustainable,
human and economic resources.

What we do
Local Empowerment
By offering:
1. Financial support: seed funding to drive
collection, dismantling & recycling. WorldLoop is
time-limited and has a co-funding requirement.
2. Technical assistance: business plan support,
training, advice on quality assurance, workers
safety and recycling standards implementation
3. International disposal of hazardous
fractions: Through partnerships with best in
class recyclers in Europe, WorldLoop is able to
provide member facilities with a recycling and
disposal solution for complex and hazardous
fractions that cannot be processed locally in a
safe and environmentally sound way.

Best of Two Worlds approach
a philosophy to create win - win - win situations
The Bo2W approach combines the
strengths of recycling systems in
developing countries with those of
industrialized countries.
Local treatment is used whenever
appropriate, other fractions are
exported to state of the art facilities.
Sound solutions for all fractions from
e-waste are developed.
Creation of jobs according to
international labour standards.
Fair and transparent pricing of
recycling fractions.

StEP E-waste Academy Scientist edition
Umicore hosts and co-sponsors, facilitating knowledge transfer
The E-Waste Academy-Scientists Edition (EWAS) is a pioneering concept in the
research and education on e-waste management, looking at the e-waste issue
in its entirety, rather than through the lens of a specific academic discipline.
The vision is to provide the foremost platform to young scientists involved in
e-waste related research to share their knowledge, interact with experts and
develop collaborative partnerships fostering high quality cutting edge scientific
research on all areas related to e-waste - from policy to technology to economics
to social aspects.
From the 1st edition in 2009 till the 3rd edition in 2011, all taking place in Europe,
a large share of the participants has been from developing countries.

StEP E-waste Academy Managers edition
Umicore shares its knowledge and expertise for knowledge transfer
The vision for the EWAM is to be the foremost forum available for
stakeholders involved in e-waste system design as well as implementing
solutions to share their knowledge, interact with experts and develop
collaborative partnerships fostering high long-term, sustainable solutions and
approaches on all policy-related areas related in e-waste - from policy to
technology to economics to social aspects
The first E-waste Academy-Managers Edition (EWAM) will be a regional one,
with policymakers and SME operators in Western Africa. This will enable the
organizers to take a more concentrated approach to stimulate fruitful
discussion among policymakers and SME operators while also facilitating
exchange of best practices and expert feedback.
Umicore was one of the expert lecturers at the 2012 edition in Ghana.

About StEP
In late 2004, the United Nations University (UNU) identified the urgent need for
action by the global community and, together with partners such as Hewlett
Packard, took the initiative to develop a neutral arena provided by various UN
organizations for creative discussions and scientificallybased pilot projects. The
resulting initiative was called Solving the E-waste Problem – StEP Initiative.
Since its official launch in 2007, StEP has continued to foster partnerships
between companies, academia, and governmental and non-governmental
organizations to facilitate the politically-, socially-, economically- and ecologically-
sustainable handling of e-waste worldwide.
Today, five years after its formal launch, StEP has grown into a remarkable and
truly international initiative with more than 60 members worldwide.
Its members envision a future in which societies have reduced the e-waste-
related burden on the ecosystem through the sustainable and responsible
design, production, use and disposal of electrical and electronic equipment.
These societies make prudent use of lifetime-extension strategies in which
products and components – and the resources contained in them – become raw
materials for new products.
Five years on, StEP continues its work towards enhancing resource efficiency
and optimizing the life cycle of electronics, as well as towards fostering a
transnational and multi-stakeholder approach to solving the e-waste problem.
