In the 1990s, computer products started to enter households in Iran where the magnitude and flow of e-waste generation is not well known. Only do a few studies exist in Iran which contain a rough estimation of the installed base of computers and e-waste generated. The purpose of this study is to estimate electronic wastes (e-wastes) flow in Iran, for the first time, to establish a baseline of knowledge about such potentially valuable and toxic wastes.
