Abstract
The production of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is one of the fastest growing global manufacturing activities. At the same time this also means that the amount of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) will continue to increase in the coming decades. The purpose of this paper is to raise awareness in the broad plane of the problem of electrical and electronic waste in our country. Specifically, this study tries to inform the public, experts and protective policy makers about the volume and dangerousness of waste, increasing the financial impact on local government and taxpayers. However, there are conventional methods for waste disposal, these methods have economic and environmental disadvantages. Recycling is a new management option. This paper offers an overview of electrical and e-waste recycling, including a description of how it is generated and classified, strategies and technologies for recovering materials. Completing European standards in this field, analyzing all stages of the recycling process: collection, classification, processing and benefit of new materials, is also part of the analysis in this paper.
