“…The temperature exchange equipment e-waste is estimated at 1,853,605 tons, while screens at 1,083,991 tones. Lower values are estimated for small IT (900,695 tons) and lamps (73,996 tons) [5].…”

“…E-waste (waste electrical and electronical equipment, WEEE) refers to any discarded products that have a battery or a plug, and have ceased to represent value to their users or no longer satisfy their initial purpose [1]. Various types of waste products can be included in the e-waste category, such as, but not limited to: washing machines, dishwashers, air conditioners, refrigerators, microwaves, toasters, coffee machines, appliances for toothbrushing, shaving, hair drying, laptops, personal computers, notebooks, Regarding the volume of e-waste generated in the European Union, including Norway and Switzerland, it is estimated that in 2020 it will reach 10,960,799 tons [5]. By categories (considering six main categories) of e-waste, the highest value is being recorded for large equipment (3,656,468 tons) and small equipment (3,392,044 tons).…”

Determinants of Individuals’ E-Waste Recycling Decision: A Case Study from Romania

et al. 2020

Due to the increase of the amount of electrical and electronical equipment waste (e-waste), the understanding of individual consumers’ main decision triggers represents a key point in increasing the quantity of recycled e-waste. A series of studies from the literature have shown a positive relationship between the consumers’ attitude, awareness, self-efficacy, social norms, and their e-waste recycling intention, as well as the positive influence between the intention and the manifested behavior. Additional to these determinants, in the present study, the influence of social media was analyzed along with the actions taken by the government and nongovernmental organizations, with the purpose to include and to capture, as much as possible, a high amount of determinants in the e-waste recycling process. Nevertheless, the demographic or socio-economic variables, such as age, gender, income, education, number of family members, etc., have shown over time to have a contribution to predicting the consumers’ pro-recycling behavior. As on one side, in the research literature, the opinions related to which of the demographic or socio-economic factors can have an impact on the recycling behavior have been divided and, on another side, a series of researchers believe that the discrepancies in the findings of different studies can be due to culture in various countries, in this paper we conducted such an analysis with reference to the Romania’s case. The results have shown that the demographic variables, such as age and gender, can have a contribution to predicting residents’ pro-e-waste recycling behavior. Based on these findings, the policymakers can gain a better understanding of the e-waste recycling phenomenon and on its main triggers, with results in creating better policies for sustaining a proper e-waste managing system.

“…A larger deposit would proportionally induce larger environmental benefits. Accordingly, the extension of the exploited deposit, considering waste fractions other than HDD waste, as well as waste fractions not only collected in France but also more globally in Europe (in particular, 4,700 tonnes of HDD waste are expected to be generated all over Europe in 2020; Huisman et al., ), are key perspectives with a view to ensuring significant economic and environmental benefits through the EXTRADE process.…”

Project EXTRADE developed an innovative process for recycling rare earths (RE) from permanent magnets used in small applications. To assess the potential of further research from lab scale toward industrialization, this study performs economic and environmental evaluations. Because data are incomplete at current levels of process development, this study propagates uncertainty into the results. Results show that the EXTRADE process, as a complement to the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) waste management system currently in operation in France, could be both economically profitable and beneficial in terms of climate change. However, at this stage of development the price of output products is a key determinant of the economic profitability while still particularly uncertain. Also, the EXTRADE process may offer a climate change benefit due to the substitution of recycled RE oxides for those produced from primary resources (80% chance to be superior to 990 tonnes CO2‐eq over 5 years). The amount of the waste recycled is another key, uncertain parameter regarding both the environmental and economic benefits provided by the process.

“…In 2017, the EU Horizon 2020-funded research consortium, ProSUM developed a European database of valuable materials available for recovery -or 'urban mining' -from scrap vehicles, spent batteries, waste electronic and electrical equipment, and mining wastes. 2 It mapped the flow of valuable materials recovered or lost in some 18m t of tech products discarded annually in the EU.…”
