    WEEE - Lesson 9

    Uploaded by

    Marian Anastacio
    The document provides information about managing waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). It defines WEEE as waste that contains hazardous components like lead, cadmium, and mercury. The objectives are to reduce e-waste, encourage reuse, and involve stakeholders. Hazardous substances from manufacturing and consumer waste can harm health and environment. Common e-waste items include large appliances, small appliances, IT equipment, lighting, tools, toys and medical equipment. The main disposal methods are landfill, incineration, and recycling, but landfill and incineration are not suitable due to harmful substances. Recycling involves shredding and specialized recycling of metals, plastics, and components.

    Managing
    Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment
    (WEEE)
    2nd Sem. Quarter 4
    LESSON 9
    Waste Electrical and Electronic
    Equipment
    Include all waste electrical and electronic
    equipment that contain hazardous components
    such as lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent
    chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and
    polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) that
    includes its peripherals i.e., ink cartridges, toners,
    etc.
    WEEE Objectives

    The protocols and standards stipulated


    in this Guideline intend to provide the
    framework mechanism for the
    appropriate management of WEEE.
    Specifically, this Guideline aims to:
    • 1. Reduce the amount of EEE type of waste and the hazards
    brought about by its components;
    • 2. Encourage the reuse of equipment and valorization of its waste
    components;
    • 3. Encourage involvement of all relevant agencies and
    stakeholders in the life cycle of EEE in design innovation leading
    to their more efficient dismantling, recycling, and reuse; and,
    Institutionalize the principle of “extended producers’
    responsibility” (EPR) in addressing the financial requirements
    involved in the implementation of this Guideline.
    Hazardous Waste
    Substances from manufacturing
    operations and as consumer discards
    of manufactured products which
    present unreasonable risk and/or
    injury to health and safety to the
    people or to the environment.
    Common items of electrical and electronic
    waste include:
    • Large household appliances • (PCs, phones, laptops, printers,
    (fridges, freezers, washing scanners, photocopiers)
    machines, dishwashers) • Consumer equipment (TVs,
    • Small household appliances stereo equipment, electric
    (toasters, coffee makers, irons, toothbrushes)
    hairdryers)
    • Information technology (IT) and
    telecommunications equipment
    Common items of electrical and electronic
    waste include:
    • Lighting equipment (fluorescent • Monitoring and control
    lamps) instruments
    • Electrical and electronic tools • Automatic dispensers
    (handheld drills, saws,
    screwdrivers) • Batteries and accumulators
    • Toys, leisure and sports equipment
    • Medical equipment systems
    (except implanted or infected
    products)
    How can WEEE be disposed of?

    • The three main ways to manage


    waste are LANDFILL,
    INCINERATION AND RECYCLING.
    Landfill

    Is the disposal of waste material by burying


    it. Space at landfill sites is becoming scarce.
    WEEE should not be put in landfill sites
    because of the harmful substances it
    contains.
    Incineration
    Destroys materials by burning them at high temperatures.
    Recycling

    The recycling industry is complex. It


    includes large shredder operators
    and smaller specialist recyclers
    Recycling
    • Shredders recover metals by putting items such as old cars and
    household appliances through hammer mills (also known as fragmentizers).

    • Smaller recycling businesses may specialize in, for example, plastics


    recycling, refining precious metals, or repair and refurbishment

    • Other recycling companies collect items for export to countries that


    have more advanced recycling systems or that can extract components and
    reusable materials from the waste.
