Research Summary
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) recycling refers to the process of collecting, dismantling, sorting, and recycling discarded electrical and electronic devices to recover valuable materials and minimize environmental impact. WEEE includes a wide range of products, such as computers, mobile phones, household appliances, televisions, and electronic toys, which contain components and materials that can be recycled or reused. WEEE recycling aims to prevent hazardous substances from contaminating the environment and conserve valuable resources by recovering metals, plastics, glass, and other materials for reuse in manufacturing new products. The recycling process typically involves disassembly, shredding, sorting, and processing of electronic waste to separate different materials and components. Proper WEEE recycling helps reduce the volume of electronic waste sent to landfills, conserves natural resources, and mitigates the environmental and health risks associated with improper disposal of electronic devices. Many countries have implemented regulations and recycling programs to promote responsible WEEE management and ensure the safe and sustainable recycling of electronic waste.
