Risks & opportunities and ISO 14001

Answer:

First consider what kind of expected results does your organization wants to achieve about electronics recycling. Then, think about issues that can help or hinder the meeting of those expected results. For example, a new law can promote electronics recycling and increase the supply for your organization.

Then, consider the consequences of, for example, new compliance obligations, a new international regulation increase cost of handling electronics recycled materials.

And also, consider environmental aspects of your organization and think about what can help or hinder the magnitude of its impacts. For example, perhaps there is the risk of a major breakdown in a machine that can initiate an abnormal situation with significant environmental impacts.
