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.”
