The traditional consequences of the economic growth are the overuse of natural resources and the generation of waste. Both consequences could cause negative environmental impacts. To achieve a sustainable development, the application of decoupling waste from economic growth could be the solution strategy. This study aims at analyzing the potential of decoupling waste of High Grade -Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipments from economic growth and its impact on saving natural resources and environmental Production. The analysis showed that there was a significant impact on offsetting the consumption of primary material sources from natural resources as well securing a secondary material source with less environmental negative impacts.
