Computers and other electronic equipment have become an integral part of our lives, and we are generating millions of tons of electronic and electrical wastes each year. It is one of the most significant health issues of the present decade. Electronic systems are made of hundreds of electronic components, and not all of them can be recycled. Some many hazardous chemicals and materials were used in the manufacture of these electronic components, and some of them are not meant for recycling at all.
When these components are recycled, they are capable of leaving a hazardous and adverse impact on our environment. To avoid all this, it is prudent to look for ways of putting this end-of-the-life computer and other electronic parts into better use by reselling them in the used computer equipment industry rather than just throwing them away to landfills. This is necessary to prevent an adverse impact on the environment. It is also not good economically to just throw away the computers and related equipment that still have life left in them.
The awareness of the dangers of recycling Electronic and electrical waste is increasing by the day, and many studies are being conducted throughout the world to find harmless and profitable ways of disposing of the near end of the life computer and related equipment. The European Union has successfully formulated a forward-thinking and highly prudent piece of legislation in its Parliament by way of the European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive in 2012, stating that all the Electrical and Electronic waste material must be resold rather than sending them for recycling and prevent the adverse impact that will have on the environment and the planet we are living.
The primary objective of the European Union’s above directive is to encourage and promote reuse, recycling, and following other ways of non-destructive ways of dealing with electrical and electronic equipment. This is to reduce the number of such waste materials being disposed of in unscientific ways of recycling and help in improving the environmental performance of those groups that are engaged in the management and treatment of WEEE. It goes one step further and provides for collecting, recovering, and treating electronic and electrical waste products. The present directive that is in force is an enhanced version of the previous European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive in 2002.
Thus, the Governments have begun noticing the problem of effectively and scientifically managing Electronic and Electrical Equipments waste. The trend is to send as much of these materials into the reselling in the market rather than allowing them to be taken away for recycling.
In the present day, we are living in technological advancements, and tremendous amounts of new technologies and the newer versions of those already in use are being released every day. This makes your computer and electronic systems becoming obsolete in a concise time, well before their normal end of the life period. You are forced to dispose of them during their active life and go for new and more powerful or the ones that offer more facilities during their middle of the active life cycle.
This unwanted computer, electrical, electronic, and other equipment are simply sent for recycling though they still have a useful lifetime left in them. This is not economically good as you are going to lose a major part of their residual value when you sell them to recyclers who take it at scrap rates irrespective of the life left in the said electrical or electronic equipment. This causes a lot of strain on your business’s bottom line as you are selling the used computer systems at a minor fraction of the original cost of the Systems when you purchased them.
But when you have to buy new equipment, you have to pay many times more than what you got for your older system, and the difference goes as a loss in the value of your capital goods. This type of unscientific selling of used computer, electrical and electronic equipment puts an enormous strain on your business while you are going in for new upgraded and expanded versions of the equipment you are selling. To avoid this, the right way of disposing of your used WEEE materials is to resell them for being refurbished and resold to end-users who can use this equipment till their real end of life cycle stage.
The present-day Government garbage disposal is burdened with the task of millions and millions of tonnes of electrical and electronic equipment that is being thrown in garbage bins or sent for recycling. During the recycling process, the parts of the electronic equipment that are made of hazardous and toxic materials are also sent to landfills or just recycled using unscientific methods or without identifying and segregating these hazardous materials from other recyclable materials. This leaves out hazardous smoke, fume, or hazardous materials, and chemicals are released into water and air, causing serious pollution.
Apart from this, there are many electronic and electrical components in the equipment that are being sold for recycling that is not meant for recycling. This unscientific way of recycling has led to many economic and environmental impacts that can be prevented or at least minimized only by resorting to a large scale of reselling computer equipment, electrical and electronic items and prevent them from being recycled even before their end of the life cycle.
