Abstract

This paper aims at providing the characteristics of a cost - benefit analysis (CBA) in the field of waste electric and electronic equipment (WEEE) in order to simplify the completion of this analysis for recycling projects. The paper is structured into three parts. The first part of the paper summarizes the history of the method and its usefulness for both private and public sector. The literature review offers an insight into the relevant past literature in the field of CBA showing the connections across multiple studies. The third part describes the steps and components of cost-benefit analysis in the field of WEEE by means of a formal analysis, emphasizing the essential aspects regarding the economic and financial evaluation of an investment project.
