In the modern world, more and more electronic devices waste our lives.
Everything we touch and use from toys to washing machines, from hair dryers to refrigerators, from phones to vacuum cleaners, from lawn mowers to computers becomes electrical.
The decline of such a wired world is a waste of the rapid speed of electronic and electrical equipment (WEE)are discarded.
The average life span of mobile phones is one year.
An old PC was replaced by a laptop, and a plasma TV replaced the old TV.
As technology advances, the speed at which electronic products are thrown away has increased to an average of 4% of European urban garbage from electronics, and more dangerous, this waste is three times faster than any other waste.
It is important to note that some environmental problems arise when electronic equipment is treated together with conventional waste.
Some of them are: the process of making new products requires a lot of natural resources.
From elements such as copper, aluminum, black metal to energy for manufacturing and transportation, the use of resources is increasing every year.
In the process of manufacturing new products, the environment is constantly destroyed through mining, transportation and water use.
Many chemicals used to make equipment, such as refrigerators, are toxic in nature and cause harm to the health of animals and humans.
More and more garbage needs more garbage disposal space, but landfill sites that can safely handle electronic garbage are becoming more and more rare.
Therefore, the better option to extend the life of the product is not to throw away the items, but to donate it for reuse or recycling.
Whether it's a computer or a mobile phone, any product you use is a combination of many parts.
Even if the whole product is no longer useful, the parts may still be in working condition, so they can be recycled and reused.
The company and the government have many recycling plans to recycle any old electronic equipment.
There are also programs to collect items from your home and donate to other low-income families or community centers.
For the world, recycled electrical equipment is definitely more useful and safer than producing new products and throwing away the continuous inflow of old products.
Recyclable electronic and electrical equipment can be divided into the following categories depending on its function and type of chemical or the components present therein.
These devices include: computers, printers, laptops, telephones, electronic typewriters, answering machines, calculators, fax machines, telex machines, photocopiers, etc.
Household appliances-air conditioning, washing machine, refrigerator, clothes dryer, electric stove, microwave oven, etc.
Small household appliances-small household appliances such as vacuum cleaners, irons, ovens, grinding machines, coffee machines, hair dryers, massagers, electric knives, frying pans, clocks, scales, etc.
Audio and image related equipment such as TV, stereo, video recorder, camera, audio amplifier, etc.
Toys and sports equipment-battery operated toys, electric trains, racing cars, video games and other toys or sporting goods.
Electronic tools. tools such as drill, sewing machine, saw, welder, DingTalk or tightening tool, garden mower, etc.
Medical Products. radiotherapy equipment, dialysis equipment, ventilator, Analyzer, freezer and other medical equipment used to detect, monitor or treat diseases.
Lighting Equipment-fluorescent lamp, halogen lamp, sodium lamp, high-intensity discharge lamp, etc.
When you donate your electronic waste to recycled electrical equipment through a recycling plan, they are usually removed to separate reusable and recyclable parts.
Next, the harmful components are separated and raw materials such as plastic, metal and black metal are separated.
Finally, the removal of precious metals, hazardous chemicals and raw materials by chemical and mechanical methods can be re-
The consumption of natural resources is saved. Repair. Reuse. Recycle.
Electrical equipment waste due to its hazardous nature and the amount of treatment per day is placing a huge burden on the environment.
Take the time to repair, reuse and recycle these items so that the life of the equipment will be extended and the life of the Earth will be extended.
