Overcoming the e-waste problem requires knowledge, leadership and action. By conducting and sharing scientific research, StEP is helping to shape effective policy-making. Research is also key to reducing or replacing resources used in manufacturing. By fostering the generation of problem-solving ideas, StEP supports their implementation and monitors their effects.<\/p>
