With the increase in consumption and the consequent shortening of the life of equipment, the amount of waste generated that requires special disposal is also increasing, including waste from electronic equipment as well as batteries and accumulators. In order to return them to the loop and recover resources, recycling is an important part of the process. Recycling represents a benefit not only for people, but also for companies and the environment.

The active participation of all of us is fundamental and consists in delivering the waste to the appropriate collection points and ensuring its decontamination, treatment and recycling.

After collection, the WEEE and WBA are delivered to an acceptance point where they are sorted. The operational categories according to which we separate the collected waste are:

After sorting, the collected products are transported to waste treatment centers, where they are decontaminated and recycled or recovered. The phase of raw material recovery (recycling) closes the loop and leads to the production of new products (reuse of materials in industry).

The treatment of WEEE is very complex, since in most cases these devices are made of a variety of materials, such as different plastics, different metals, glass, etc. In addition to the variety of materials, they also consist of hazardous substances that need to be removed and treated independently, especially heavy metals.

Therefore, it is of high relevance that everyone adds his contribution to the proper treatment.
