United States: Electronic Waste Recycling Together The Strengths Of All – Electronic Waste Recycling

With Mobile , Computers and personal digital cameras and other consumer electronic products become increasingly popular replacement at a much faster, as the global information technology leader in the United States, abandoned the number of consumer electronics products is also increasing.

According to statistics, in 2005 the United States abandoned
TV Machines, personal computers, mobile phones, printers, scanners, fax machines and other electronic products weighing up to 200 tons, of which 80% to 85% drop in the main landfill within, only 15% to 20% of recycling and reuse , in the municipal solid waste flow in the ratio close to 2%. Experts worry that electronic products contains lead, mercury, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants and other hazardous substances handled properly will harm the environment. To this end, the United States in the consumer electronics waste “recycling” is beginning to do a lot of work, made some practical results.

Now state the following U.S. states and local governments in the electronics recycling and management plays an important role. State, local government not only needs to electronics recycling and “recycling” promotion to raise funds but also to identify well-qualified manufacturers of electronic products discarded security “recycling.” Data show that the United States during the period 1980 to 2004, sold about half of consumer electronics products are still in use or re-use, while 9% remained idle not abandoned. Figures show that from 1999 to 2005, due to sharp increase in the number of discarded electronic products, although the United States for such products, “recycling” an increasing number, but the “recycling” ratio is not significantly increased. Recovery of the face of growing demand, the power of the executive branch alone has been stretched, many local governments overwhelmed, held every year at most only once or twice a waste product recycling activities.

Order to achieve complementarity, to make up for state governments lack of resources, the United States began to pay attention to business and the advantages of public-private partnership model. 2003 launched the “cycle of electronic products into” voluntary co-operation projects, by the Federal

Environmental protection Department, electronics manufacturers, retailers and service operators work together to “recycle” waste electronic products and open up more channels for manufacturers, retailers, government and consumers share the responsibility for recycling electronic products. Since the project launched in 2003, the nation’s “recycled” to reach 142 million pounds of electronic products. Which in 2007 alone, according to retailers and manufacturers committed to the voluntary “recycling” electronic product weighs 47 million pounds on its greenhouse gas reduction effects equivalent to an annual decrease of 32,000 on the road

Printing and Photo waste recycling

Article by Jamie Hanson

As part of the drive towards environmental protection and recycling, companies are being put under increasing legislative pressure to achieve stringent waste management targets for the disposal and recycling of business by-products. This is particularly the case for materials deemed to be hazardous and applies to a range of industrial chemicals and by-products typically produced by industry, including materials produced in the process of photography and printing.

Photographic processing and the environment Essentially much of the process behind traditional photographic printing involves the use of strong chemicals such as neat hydrochloric acid which was traditionally poured directly down the dark room sink and would end up in the sewers and eventually in the rivers. Naturally this constituted something of an environmental hazard, with adverse results being seen, notably in the River Thames, some ten or more years ago.

The Government steps in!The Government were quick to step in, however, when the environmental lobby became sufficiently vocal and evidence was raised to show how business was contributing to an environmental time-bomb. The Water Framework Directive – part of a European approach – presented a list of substances that damaged the aquatic environment and found photographic processing products to be one of them. A list of stringent controls and measures were then drawn up and implemented to govern how these – and other materials – were disposed of and managed safely in future.

Managing the problemPhotographic chemical residue is now not only deemed to be polluting, but it is also deemed to be hazardous waste and therefore unsuitable for landfill sites. Recycling is key and organisations have sprung up, dedicated to the management of this process. For many years now, the organisations involved in photographic reproduction and printing – including labs, hospitals, individual users and photographic processors have known that there were significant advantages in recovering silver from analogue film and the printing process. Specialised companies have refined the waste haulage process and there are a number of silver recovery operators and national recyclers now supporting the recycling drive in the photographic industry.

Gaining accreditationMany of these now conform to the coveted ISO 14001 accreditation – environmental management – and this is an indicator as to just how far the industry has progressed.

The silver can be recovered from a number of materials – solvents, photochemistry residues, engages jets etc. Costs are competitive because of large scale usage – leading to shared economies and the resulting silver recovery is valuable in itself.

The futureCertainly for as long as Britain and Europe continues to be consumer driven, the need for recycling and waste management companies will only continue to grow. Many of these companies now specialise in a number of different recycling processes for hazardous waste, including vegetable oil by-products from the catering industry and specific chemicals from manufacturing processes. They offer sensible and cost-effective solutions for organisations who wish to outsource their waste management processes to specialists, whilst ensuring that they adhere to the government legislation that allows them to continue operating.

Question by Sweet Dreams ◕‿◕: I have a question about recycling plastic bottles?
Would it be wrong for me to recycle plastic bottles without their lids.
I’m talking about stuff like water bottles and coke bottles. Is it okay for me to put them in one of those recycle boxes without their lids on?

Are their lids really important in the process of recycling?

Best answer:

Answer by Peter
Actually the lids are a different kind of plastic so it’s easier for the plants to process without the lids. So leaving the lids off is fine.

Sun Recycling Ramps Up Recycling Commitment

A recent story in the Orlando Sentinel revealed that Central Florida is the hands-down winner when it comes to recycling efforts in Florida. To make matters worse, our state pales in comparison to green states such as California, where aggressive recycling campaigns led to about 52 percent of its 88 million tons of trash being diverted into recycling in 2006, the newspaper reported?

More troubling for Florida, however, is that while the overall recycling rate hovered at about 34 percent in the 1990s, that number began to slip in 2000 to below 30 percent. By 2004, about 26 percent of trash was recycled.

While Central Florida is recycling at a higher rate, according to figures from the state Department of Environmental Protection, the rest of the state clearly needs to do better. Instead of filling up a landfill, recycling leads to a greater percentage of trash being turned into new products.
Just about every industrial process produces various types of materials that can be reused.

Industrial processes that make consumer goods is just one example.

Industrial byproducts are valuable commodities that are recyclable. Construction and demolition debris share much the same properties as the virgin materials they replace while helping us to preserve natural resources by relying less on virgin materials. Industrial byproducts that are recycled help to conserve energy which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Using industrial byproducts for recycling helps reduce the demand for products made from energy-intensive manufacturing processes.

Industrial byproducts for recycling also saves money by decreasing disposal costs and helps reduce material costs for end users.

Many industries in the United States generate large amounts of industrial byproducts on an annual basis. Unfortunately in the past the majority of many of these materials have been land filled.

State-of-the-art equipment enables Lantana, FL-based Southern Waste Systems–and its sister company Sun Recycling– to sort and process materials within 24 hours. The company recycles 80 percent of the debris collected and processed which normally would be sent directly to landfills. “Recycling of construction and demolition debris allows us to keep it out of our landfills and allows us to recycle and re-use the material,” said John Archambo, director of customer relations for the Solid Waste Authority (SWA) of Palm Beach County. Archambo, who attended the June 25 grand opening of SWS’s Sun V recycling facility, said the SWA strongly encourages private companies to recycle.

“It helps expand the life of the landfills,” he said.
