Abstract: 
The growing volume of electronic waste (e-waste) from household appliances and ICT products poses significant environmental challenges, particularly in high-income regions like Germany. In 2022, global e-waste reached 96 million tons, with recycling rates unable to keep up with generation. Urban mining, the recovery of valuable materials from anthropogenic sources, offers a promising solution to support the transition to a circular economy. However, while urban mining in sectors like construction is well-researched, the household product sector remains underexplored. This thesis conceptualizes a scalable urban mining network for household and ICT waste streams in Berlin, focusing on stakeholder identification, reverse logistics process development, and the mapping of redistribution pathways for reusable components. Through literature review, stakeholder analysis, and case studies, the research identifies gaps in current recovery systems and proposes a framework to improve coordination, collection efficiency, and material recovery, contributing to enhanced resource efficiency and sustainability in Germany.
