Recycling Of Electronics Waste Exceeded By 93.5 Million Tons Per Year

The use of electronics devices in our daily life is increasing day by day.  We can’t squander these goods like Smartphone, Personal Computer, Tablets, Laptop and many others. This equipment makes our life easy and luxurious, but at the same time it will affect our environment.  These devices are continuously releasing carbon in the environment and pollute it.  To reduce the hazardous effects of such gases, we can look for the waste management. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipments directive is working for the recycling process of the squander.  It valued $9.84 billion in 2012. WEEE Legislation proposed to maintain the proper category and its treatment without harm to the atmosphere.  It is a good technology to manage the squander in the market and restaurant, IT industries and other sectors.




Europe and North America are dominated for the electronics recycling.  The rate of Europe is slightly greater than the North America, because they use the two directives as RoHS restriction and WEEE. Recently, The EU guidance the definition of household items is as, ‘WEEE from private households’ refers exactly to: “electronic equipment which due to its nature can be assumed to be used by both private households (professional users). Such equipment should be registered and reported as household equipment and its waste should be considered from private households.”

This definition will be crucial from 2016, because members will collect the 45% 0f the average amount placed in the market. It will rate as the single collection to the whole amount, which includes both household and non household appliances too.
