This document discusses electronic waste recycling. It lists group members and then describes how electronic waste includes used electronics that are collected for reuse, resale, recycling, or disposal. It explains that most e-waste goes through a WEEE system that recycles 95-98% by weight and ensures data is destroyed. It also provides details about recycling CRT monitors, including separating the monitor body and cathode ray tube, shredding the tubes and screens into small pieces, and disposing of any glass dust carefully.
3. "Electronic waste includes used
electronics items which are
collected for reuse, resale,
recycling, or disposal. Re-usable
Working and repairable items
and secondary scraps like:
copper, steel, plastic, etc.
13. Electronic Waste – recycling laptops,
computers and other electronic equipment.
Most electronic waste goes through a
recycling system called a WEEE (Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment), which
not only recycles 95-98%, by weight, of all
ewaste passed through it, but ensures that
any data left on hard drives and memories are
thoroughly destroyed too.
17. RECYCLING CRT MONITORS
Separation of Monitor Body and
Cathode Ray Tube – firstly the front of
the monitor is removed so that the
tube can be removed from within. The
shell is then recycled along with
regular ewaste.
Size reduction process –The tubes
and screens are shredded down into
small pieces. Any glass dust created in
this process is disposed of carefully, in
an environmentally friendly way.
