What is WEEE Recycling in 2020

 

WEEE Background

Electronic devices are an intangible item in humans’ life. All of us use it and non-exaggeratedly speaking, we depend on them for work and life. However, the more we use it, the more waste it creates after its service life.

WEEE (electric and electronic waste) provides recyclers different initiatives for recycling. It includes toxic compounds, such as lead, mercury or specific flame retardants. Also, it includes precious metals such as aluminum, copper, iron, silver and gold. In 2013, approx. 64,000.000 ton digital goods were disposed and 50,000.000 ton electric and electronic waste has been discarded.

Examples of WEEE in Specific?

WEEE is a vast category of waste. Here are some typical items:

  1. Heat exchanger, condenser, evaporator
  2. Monitors, display screen and TV
  3. Lighting, light bulb, LED
  4. Small office and home appliance
  5. Big office and home appliance (greater than 50cm)
  6. Industrial machines
  7. Telecommunications devices and electronic gadgets like iPad
  8. USB, hard disk, bank e-keys

WEEE Recycling System in Short

Since the amount of marketed digital products rise, the amount of WEEE increases. It’s crucial that e-waste is well-taken care of correctly and efficiently. The WEEE Recycling Line of Wiscon Envirotech complies with EU’s WEEE Directive Annex 1B. We provide recycling plants with capacities that range from 700-7000 kg/production hour.

According to customers’ needs, we tailor to design a system that solves their problems. Besides, we focus on yield and power consumption, reaching the highest productivity. As we know, metal loss, noise, low purity are 3 major problems in WEEE recycling system. Therefore, we have excellent pre-shredder and shredder, noise-insulation housing and cutting-edge metal separation system, respectively.

End Product of WEEE Recycling System

By using our recycling line, we are able to get a different percentage of ferrous and non-ferrous and plastics. Various percents of non-ferrous metals (silver, gold, aluminum, copper, brass) and of steel and stainless steel are obtained. The final products are smaller than 20 by 20mm. Soft and hard plastics can also be distinguished by colours and characteristics.

The Composition of Plastic Waste – Latest Analysis Year 2020

Image
  What source of the industry creates most of the plastic waste? There is a huge increase in plastic consumption in our daily lives. Plastic waste can be divided into commercial and industrial wastes. Many of these plastic products are single-used. That is, they are thrown away after one-time usage. For example, disposable plastic packaging, food container, cup, tablecloth and hand gloves are the regular items. The Composition of Plastic Waste: Pre-use and Post-use Plastic Other types of plastic waste include pre-use and post-use plastic. Pre-use plastic is mainly rejected products that do not meet the criteria in terms of size, colour, hardness and other properties. This also includes the byproducts like flesh and sprue during the process of plastic product manufacturing (e.g. molding, blow molding, thermal forming). Post-use plastics include plastic bottles, pails, casing; rigid plastics such as pipes and moldings, plastic foams or expanded polystyrene; and flexible plastics such as

What is ocean plastic pollution?

  Where does the plastic pollution in the ocean come from? What is ocean plastic pollution? Marine pollution is a combination of solid waste and chemicals that originate from the land. With the help of rainwater and wind, the pollutant is driven into the ocean. 3% of the worldwide plastic waste goes to the ocean according to the study. As more than 80% of the global plastic waste is not recycled, it is not surprising that abundant waste is accumulating in the ocean. In 2010, this was about 8 million tonnes. Before we dive into the question of where does ocean plastic waste comes from, we need to know about mismanaged plastics in the globe. The definition of mismanaged plastics is plastic waste that does not properly collect and recycle, instead, it ends up in landfills and scrap yard and directly pours into the river, lake and ocean. The graph shows more than half of the mismanaged stems from East Asia and the Pacific. The rest of the regions account for 40%. North America scores the l

3 Differences between One and Two Shaft Shredder

Image
  When choosing an industrial shredder, the first question lots of the customers ask is what is the difference between single shaft shredder and double shaft shredder. One may not see the difference except their outlook, but they are very different in 3 points. In this article, we explain the differences between One shaft shredder and Two Shaft Shredder. Machine Structure Single Shaft Shredder is equipped with only one shaft welded with rotary blades. The rotor a hydraulic-actuated pusher arm. and a screen underneath the rotating shaft. Double Shaft Shredder is built with two shafts of blades, which we also call dual shearing shafts. Its rotor consists of multiple disks of blades. The 2 rotors counter-rorate. There is no hydraulic-driven pusher or screen on this machine. Single Shaft Shredder Rotor Application Single Shaft Shredder  is suitable to process thick and solid materials such as molding purgings, runners, sprues, plastic pallets, rubber rolls, wood lumbers, tree branches, bon
