Content: Environmental Concerns
The main environmental concerns are resource depletion and dangerous substances arising from waste from electrical and electronic equipment. If electrical and electronic products are disposed of in landfill sites, millions of tonnes of materials that could be recovered and reused for new products are being lost. Recovery of these materials would reduce the need to extract more raw materials for the manufacture of new products. Some electronic equipment and/or its components contain substances that are considered dangerous to the environment and human health if they are disposed of carelessly. Although these dangerous substances are usually only contained in small amounts, they have great potential for causing serious environmental damage. Disposing of WEEE
Landfill Sites
Landfill is the disposal of waste material by burying it. Space at landfill sites is becoming scarce. It is not appropriate to dispose of waste from electric and electronic equipment in landfill sites because of the harmful substances that waste from electric and electronic equipment is known to contain. Incinerators: Incineration is the process of burning materials at high temperatures.
