3. Method 53<br />
Because many data on collection <strong>flow</strong>s are not differentiated according to <strong>the</strong> collection<br />
channels, especially in <strong>the</strong> USA, <strong>the</strong> results are presented in a simplified form, where <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>flow</strong>s <strong>of</strong> collected sWEEE are aggregated into one single <strong>flow</strong> (arrow C in Figure 10). The<br />
<strong>flow</strong>s <strong>of</strong> sWEEE to reuse were assumed to come directly from collection, so that <strong>the</strong> <strong>flow</strong>s<br />
from treatment to reuse (arrows IR and FR) are neglected.<br />

3.3. Data ga<strong>the</strong>ring<br />
The quantification <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> material and substance <strong>flow</strong>s related to <strong>the</strong> management <strong>of</strong> sWEEE<br />
requires a large amount <strong>of</strong> data. Table 9 presents an overview <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> data needed to conduct<br />
<strong>the</strong> substance <strong>flow</strong> <strong>analysis</strong>.
