Reduce e-waste from ICTs

• ICT device needs AC / DC power convertor

Normally every ICT device has at lease one power charge, power adapter or power switch unit

• At the end of life, ICT devices and its power units are kinds of e-waste

ITU-T Recommendation L.1000 Summary

• Provides high level requirements for a universal power adapter and charger solution that will reduce the number of power adapters and chargers produced and recycled by widening their application to more devices and increasing their lifetime.

• Also aims to reduce energy consumption. The longer life cycle and possibility of avoiding device duplication reduces the demand on raw materials and waste.

• Designed to serve the great majority of mobile terminals and other ICT devices.
