AS/NZS 5377 – E-Waste Management Certification

The Australian Government Department of the Environment and the New Zealand Ministry of Environment jointly developed the AS/NZS 5377 standard, introducing a formal approach to e-waste management systems. It specifies principles and the minimal requirements for a safe and environmentally sound collection, storage, transport, and treatment of end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment.

Since 2011, the “National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme” (NTCRS) has provided access to industry-empowered collection and recycling services to the Australian homeowners and small businesses. From its earlier days, the NTCRS has been regarded as an effective way to provide high-quality environmental outcomes. As a result of this program, many Australians in cities and remote areas now are enjoying access to free recycling of old televisions and computers.The concept of e-waste management originated from this initiative of NTCRS.

It is important for every entrepreneur to learn about the deepest levels of the standard before implementing the plan. The standard has defined a framework that requires safe and ecologically stable accumulation. It also requires a well thought out plan for end-of-life electrical and electronic devices. These devices are called e-waste. AS 5377 Standard aims to maximise the usage of the e-waste.

Listed below are some key benefits of AS 5377 Certification:

  • Provides a framework that encourages a systematic e-waste management system,
  • Reduces the number of risks and vulnerabilities related to e-waste management,
