This paper reviews the frontlines and projections for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in Nigeria. The paper identified the sources of WEEE, showed chemical characterization of some WEEE components and presented measures to minimize these wastes through recycling opportunities. It highlighted the perspective of WEEE trails and key reasons attributed to its generation. The potentials for innovation in WEEE recycling were further discussed in line with elements of sustainability and policy directions were proffered.

This paper presents an inventory of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and opportunities for the recycling sector in South Eastern Nigeria. The outcomes reveals that there are about 128 types of WEEE which fell into ten distinct groups. This proffers stakeholders, more especially the regulatory agencies, with a guide in predicting seasonally generated WEEE as well as appropriate approaches adopted as sustainable management strategies.
