Glossary Chatarrerías – A term used in Colombia to designate businesses that work as scrap metal dealers. They mainly buy ferrous scrap, steel, copper and aluminum from industries and recicladores. They produce an added value by sorting the different quality of metals and by accumulating bigger quantities before selling them to refiners and recyclers. Dismantling – Process aiming to recover components and materials from electrical and electronic equipments. E-waste – Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Recicladores – A term used in Colombia to designate those workers involved in salvaging recyclable materials and reusable goods from mixed solid waste. Other names found in literature are “scrap collectors”, “waste pickers”, “rag pickers” or “scavengers”. Refurbishment – Renovation and restoration of a computer; it can include cleaning and technical maintenance and allows re-use of the computer. Reuse – Any use of the equipment or its components within the same function for which it was originally designed. Reuse also means that a device has more than one “life” and more than one user. III
