| Summary: | In recent decades there have been a significant increase in the use of electronic equipment in homes, offices and industries. When these equipment are discarded after have been used they become Waste of Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). To know how the forecasting of WEEE´s generation were made, it was necessary to carry out a systematic review. The search was done in 5 databases by using the key words "electronic waste" or "WEEE" or "e-waste" and "forecasting" and it was found 854 articles. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria 28 articles were reached. As a result, it is noted that the selected articles are concentrated in the USA and China and in a few newspapers. The most independent variable used was the dada about the commercialization of the equipment. The majority of the articles have as variable response the unit and weight. There was also strong use of statistical tools and forecasting methods, especially the regression and the MFA (Material Flow Analysis). |
