2. Confront the Challenge!
¤ E-Waste is the fastest growing waste
stream, driven by:
§ Rapid advancement in technology
§ Greater adoption of electronics
§ Very low current recycling rates
§ Growing data security risks
§ Environmental legislation and
CSR
§ Hi value component materials
Volume (Million Cu. Ft.), World Markets

3. Ewaste Categories
The WEEE directive sets a total of 10 categories of
WEEE for reporting purposes.
1. Large household appliances
2. Small household appliances
3. IT and telecommunications equipment
4. Consumer equipment
5. Lighting equipment
6. Electrical and electronic tools
7. Toys, leisure and sports equipment
8. Medical devices
9. Monitoring and control instruments
10. Automatic dispensers
4. Impact of CRT Waste Materials
q Average TV contains 5 Kg leaded glass and additional
leaded based coating Lead coating is Water Soluble! 1 Kg of
lead oxide (PbO2) per TV
q Adult Health concerns raised when PbO2 blood levels reach
300 µg / litre. One TV can raise health concerns in 606,000
people
q Child Health concerns raised when PbO2 blood levels reach
100 µg / Litre. One TV can raise health concerns in 1,800,000
children
6. CRT Disposal Estimated (US Only)
q The US EPA has projected CRT Device Management as follows:
q Current stockpile of collected CRT 330,000 Tons
q Reaching End of Life 2013 ~ 2023 5,900,000 Tons
q Reaching End of Life 2023 ~ 2033 1,000,000 Tons
q The EPA figures only account for USA estimates
q The EPA figures are for CRT/TV volumes sold since 1980.
q The CRT disposal of leaded glass began to accumulate in 1950.
q Thera are no estimates for the previous 30 year period.
7. Landfill Challenge
q Landfill locations have expected lifecycle of 50 years
q Many landfills have been in operation for longer than expected lifecycle
q Concentrated waste materials can be accumulating at the lowest
levels of the landfill and will eventually leach into the soil and water table
q Monitoring of the early use of landfill was not a consideration
q Natural disasters have complicated the landfill problem. Flooding
River systems have contaminated significant areas surrounding the
Landfill. Earthquakes can rupture the landfill insulation linings
9. New Marketing Phenomenon
¤ EOL – End Of Life
¤ Once meant that a device no longer
worked
¤ Once meant that a device no longer
performed the required function for
user
¤ Discarded only for Recycling or
Trash delivered to Landfill
¤ Heavier, Slower Technologies
10. New Marketing Phenomenon
¤ OOS – Out of Style
¤ Still Fully Functional
¤ Still meets the requirements of the
User / Consumer
¤ Maintains High Resale, Reuse
Value
¤ Maintains Social Reuse Value
¤ Offers Recycler significant Return
On Investment
11. New Recycling Processes
¤ Old Recycling Methods
