E - Scraps
In today's industrial society, the use of
electronic equipment has increased tremendously. While
production levels have been growing steadily, the lifecycle
of many devices is decreasing. Naturally, this process leads
to ever-growing volumes of 'e-scrap'.
Many countries around the globe have made
significant legislative efforts to cope with these material
streams - such as the European Union's 2003 directive on
"Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)". WEEE
contains not only significant amounts of valuable metals
that must not be wasted, but also several toxic and
hazardous elements, which form a considerable threat to the
environment if not treated appropriately.
In order to protect our natural resources
and safeguard the environment, there is a growing need for
ecologically sound but cost-efficient recycling of
WEEE/electronic scrap. It is our particular
strength to offer our customers highly reliable and
eco-efficient recycling solutions, which include metal
recovery and value return, environmental performance,
accuracy and transparency of material streams, as well as
high standards of business and personal ethics. |
