Abstract

This study utilized an input–output analysis to determine the amount of lead-containing waste generated throughout the industrial supply chain in Taiwan, specifically for the electrical and electronic industries. In the European Union, lead use in electrical and electronic equipment has been prohibited since 2005. However, this does not ensure the complete absence of lead-containing waste discharge during the production of these items. Lead-containing waste is generated in various forms and arises from various life stages of multiple industries. The RoHS and WEEE directive does not control the hazardous metals generated in the raw material extraction and manufacturing stages. It is important to investigate how much hazardous lead-containing waste is generated throughout the supply chain of a lead-free product. The aim of this study is to examine discharge of lead-containing wastes along the supply chain of electrical and electronic products in Taiwan, including the product disposal phase and the upstream supply chain.
