Abstract
The off-grid solar sector plays a key role to achieve universal electrification. However, the industry faces unique environmental challenges associated with managing e-waste stemming from product components at their end-of-life. The purpose of this toolkit it to guide World Bank project teams, government counterparts, and other stakeholders in implementing effective e-waste management strategies. Off-grid solar projects can minimize the generation of e-waste by intervening at each step of the off-grid solar system lifecycle, particularly by implementing environmental and social risk management measures that follow of the principles of the 5Rs—reduce, reuse, repair, refurbish, and recycle. Fully implementing such strategies will bring about significant benefits to off-grid solar end-users, companies, the sector, and the climate, thereby ensuring that the off-grid solar industry contributes to development goals while reducing its environmental impact.
