The circular economy is one of the ways in which economic growth is independent of its corresponding environmental impacts by shifting from a production and consumption pattern of extract, use and dispose to one in which as many materials as possible can be returned to the production process. Waste of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE or e-waste) can become a source of valuable materials rather than being disposed of in a landfill taking up unnecessary space. The objective of this thesis is to determine whether waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) can be a source of valuable materials instead of being disposed of in a landfill using cathode ray tube televisions (CRT-TV) as the object of study. For this, the ownership of household appliances in Peruvian households was analyzed, the impact of technological changes on the ownership of televisions in Peru was evaluated, and the flows and inventories of CRT-TVs between the years 1998 to 2017 were also examined, and the feasibility of recovering lead from CRT-TV screens through self-reduction was determined. In a complementary manner, the energy consumption of household appliances was estimated using the environmentally extended input–output analysis (EEIOA). The results indicate, in summary, that the inventories of household appliances and their GHG emissions associated with their use phase will continue to increase, that there will be significant quantities of obsolete TV sets at the end of the switchoff that need to be processed, and that the option of using self-reducing pellets to recover lead is promising, although it still requires further testing.
