Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)q p ( )

Waste Electric and Electronics 1998 6 Mio Tonnes (4 %)

Growth of waste flow 3 times average municipal waste

Back in 1998 90 % of WEEE was landfilled or incineratedBack in 1998 90 % of WEEE was landfilled or incinerated

Special problem the hazardous content

Therefore 2 Directives: WEEE (reduction of electro-waste) &( )RoHS (restriction of hazardous substances in electronics)

WEEE Directive – Reduction electronic waste

Encompasses all Electrical & Electronic Appliances

Many Similarities with Packaging Waste Directive (1992)Many Similarities with Packaging Waste Directive (1992)

• Source Reduction (specifically hazardous substances)• Re-Use• Recycling • Incineration (thermal recovery)• Management of Restwaste

Consumers can Return without Costs

Options for Plastics-Rich Streams after Recycling

Landfilling:banned in some countries, costs increasing, questions about pollution, lose important raw material

Incineration: (in many forms) costly and becoming more-so, questions about air pollution, capacity issues lose important raw materialcapacity issues, lose important raw material

Sell to brokers or directly to third world recyclers:might not be legal in some countries depending on material make-up rules always might not be legal in some countries depending on material make-up, rules always changing, some brokers come and go, does recycler adhere to acceptable environmental standards? What happens to byproducts?

Recycling in line with the European Standards:large customers require a more reliable and dependable solution, customers for these plastics can push feedstock to e-cycle suppliers, but need large volumes and p p y pp , gideally global presence to do this successfully.

Some examples of recent green products

Europe - Electrolux

“Made with 55% recycled plastic, the Ultra Silencer Green from Electrolux is the most energy‐efficient cleaner on the market. Its new, high‐efficiency motor reduces the Ultra 

Silencer’s energy consumption by 33% compared to a standard 2,000 watt vacuum cleaner. Because Ultra Silencer Green is made out of recycled materials, it is only available in black, as this color allows to achieve the best looking finish and quality when using 

recycled materials. To signify Eco friendliness of the Green vacuum cleaner, Electrolux 

designers added signature elements of green on the graphics and buttons.”
