                              RE-USE IS THE BEST WAY TO RE-CYCLE        

 Industrialists should be motivated about the urgent need to utilize the disposed commodities that could be collected from the re-cycling units
 dealing with e-waste.









                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Establishing more and more re-cycling units for recycling e-waste would not only help bringing down the global temperatures which is aggravated by the electronic waste but also retard the use of the depleting resources. Further, the cost of  re-cycling could be lower when compared to the new raw materials.

                                                                         
Waste of electrical and electronic
material was considered as cost

 factor in past. Easiest and cheapest way of disposal was selected to put at the nearest distance. 
                 



 Today, the situation is quite alarming.
                                                                                    



 
Electronic Waste – recycling laptops, computers and other electronic equipment.

Most electronic waste goes through a recycling
 system called a WEEE (Waste Electrical
 and Electronic Equipment), which not only
 recycles 95-98%, by weight, of all ewaste
 passed through it, but ensures that any
 data left on hard drives and memories
 are thoroughly destroyed too.

• Picking Shed – first all the items are sorted 
• by hand and batteries and copper are extracted
•  for quality control.
• Initial Size Reduction Process – items are shredded into pieces as small as 100mm to prepare the ewaste to be thoroughly sorted. This is also where the data destruction takes place.
• Secondary Size Reduction – the small debris is shaken to ensure that it is evenly spread out on the conveyor belt, before it gets broken down even more. Any dust extracted is disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
• Overband Magnet – using magnets, steel and iron are removed from the debris.
• Metallic & Non-Metallic Content – aluminium, copper and brass are separated from the non-metallic content. The metallic can then be reused and resold as raw materials.
• Water Separation – water is used to separate plastic from the glass content. Once divided all raw materials can then be resold.
