초록

Inappropriate recycling/disposal processes that are caused by the illegal transboundary movement of electronic wastes(e-wastes) can have harmful effects on the environment and public health because of these wastes’ harmful components.
Therefore, we must understand the current situation regarding the domestic management of exported/imported e-wastesand examine the international requirements according to the Basel Convention. In this study, the current managementsituation of e-wastes in domestic and foreign countries and the present recycling processes of companies in Korea areinvestigated to draw improvements when e-wastes are exported or imported. Most imported e-waste involves waste printedcircuit boards (WPCB) and their scraps (more than 95.7 % of the total e-waste volume in 2015) to recover precious metalssuch as copper, silver, gold, etc. To distinguish between waste and non-waste under the Basel Convention, six items (①market for used electronic and electrical equipment (UEEE), ② residual life and appearance, ③ functional tests, ④evidence of UEEE deals, ⑤ evidence of contracts to a trade partner, and ⑥ packaging and loading conditions) and adecision flowchart are considered to classify whether the end-of-life equipment is waste.
