WASTE ELECTRO-ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT – ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN ALTERNATIVES FOR REPROSSESING |
|
|
|
|
|
Since the 1930’s, the electric-electronic industry has created a huge market for all sorts of devices and equipments. With the progress of the technology, the obsolescence is gaining momentum and, today, the problem of gathering, treating and giving final destination to that scrap has acquired massive proportions. Some countries have adopted effective policies that prevent the pollution caused by the inadequate disposal of the WEEE (Waste Electric-Electronic Equipment) and have organized re-processing systems to capture the value of that scrap.
We intend to present an analysis of the functionality and of the economics of the policies in place in other regions and suggest a model to be adopted in the Metroplitan Area of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil.
