La gestion des Dechets d’Equipements Electriques et Electroniques (DEEE) est un defi pour le Senegal. Leur quantite augmente rapidement et leur gestion informelle expose l’environnement et les acteurs aux risques lies aux substances toxiques qu’ils contiennent. L’etude vise a determiner les caracteristiques des acteurs impliques dans la gestion des DEEE et leur connaissance des dangers des composants ; a identifier les circuits et a proposer un schema de gestion approprie. La methodologie regroupe la revue de la litterature, des entretiens et des visites de terrains. Les resultats montrent que 80,5% des importateurs/distributeurs et 63% des utilisateurs professionnels ont moins de 40 ans; 65,9% des reparateurs sont âges au plus de 36 ans. Les acteurs de sexe masculin depassent 70% des effectifs interviewes. Par ailleurs, 66,4% des distributeurs, 67,3% des utilisateurs professionnels, 59,4% des menages et 100% des groupes composes des recycleurs, recuperateurs et reparateurs ignorent les dangers lies aux composants toxiques des e-dechets. La gestion informelle de ces dechets ne permet pas de tirer profit de tous leurs composants precieux et de creer des richesses et des emplois. Les populations et l’environnement restent exposes aux dangers des e-dechets. L’etude propose des mecanismes adequats de gestion et de valorisation des DEEE pour encadrer le developpement numerique et lutter contre le chomage et la pollution. © 2017 International Formulae Group.

Their quantity increases quickly and their informal management exposes both the environment and the actors to the risks linked to the toxic substances they contain. This study aimed at determining the characteristics of implicated actors in the (MEEEW) and their knowledge of the danger of the different components; to identify the chains and to propose an appropriate managing plan. This methodology gathers the literature review, maintenances and grounds visits. The results show that 80.5% of importers / distributors and 63% professional users have less than 40 years; 65.9% of repairers are all the more aged of 36 years. The number of men actors exceed of 70% the number of interviewed. Besides, 66.4% of distributers, 67.3% professional users, 59.4% households and 100% of groups composed of transformers, recuperators and repairers ignore the danger linked to the toxic substances of e- wastes. The informal management of these wastes does not allow to get interest of all their precious components and to create resources and employments. Both people and the environment are exposed to the dangers of the e-wastes. The study proposes appropriate mechanisms of management and valorization of (EEEW) to control the numeric development and to fight against unemployment and pollution. © 2017 International Formulae Group.
