For recycling purposes, the thermal degradation of post-consumed (pc) ABS/HIPS and PP/PE blends derived from waste electrical electronic equipment (WEEE) was obtained by multiple extrusions. The evolution molar mass (Mw), melt flow index (MFI), ultimate elongation (?r) reprocessed evaluated as a function extrusion cycles. mechanism corresponds to random chain scission indicated diminution ?r co...

This work proposes a set of actions to assist redesign procedure in existing products of Electric and Electronic Equipment (EEE). The aim is to improve their environmental behavior after their withdrawal in the End-of-Life (EOL) phase. In the beginning data collection takes place. Then follows selection and implementation of the optimal EOL Treatment Strategy (EOL_TS) and its results’ evaluatio...

Companies in the automotive and high-tech sectors are required by EU legislation such as REACh, ELV, RoHS, and WEEE to provide product-related compliance information. This product data relates to regulated substances used in products. As the level of outsourced production and development of assemblies and individual parts rises, it becomes increasingly necessary to involve suppliers in providin...

This study is an engineering application of optimum design approach using the discrete element method (DEM) and a genetic algorithm (GA) which one most commonly used evolutionary computation algorithms. The three-dimensional shapes waste electrical electronic equipment (WEEE) were directly applied in DEM simulation. DEM-GA simulation was to tray set on single-item feeder for recycling WEEEs; as...

With globalization and the rapid advancement of information technology, waste electrical electronic equipment (WEEE) management has become a significant concern among manufacturers. It motivated researchers to identify barriers enablers sustainable WEEE management. However, existing literature could not capture multi-stakeholder's perspective while identifying crucial for developing policy, esp...

This study shows the application of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) investigation. Several emission spectra were obtained for 7 different mobiles from 4 different manufacturers. Using the emission spectra of the black components it was possible to see some differences among the manufacturers and some emission lines from organic el...

The utilization of valuable properties waste and their reuse as raw materials is an imperative the circular economy. Waste electrical electronic equipment (WEEE) a significant source materials, certain metals, rare earth elements that are basis for highly sophisticated IT production. It estimated production WEEE in Europe 2019 was 16.20 kg/inhabitant, while quantities continue to grow at rate 3...
