waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)

Il riciclo meccanico dei rifiuti di apparecchiature elettriche ed elettroniche. Una sfida tecnologica

Due to the technological progress, electronics became more and more part of our lifestyle. Alongside the continuous progress, the volume of electric and electronic waste (WEEE) steady arising. The WEEE, because of a large number of hazardous substances in various equipment, such as lead in printed circuit boards and cadmium in semiconductor chips, could cause serious environmental problems if not properly handled at the end of their life cycle (i.e. recycling and/or disposed-off).
