Plastic etc., 


J
 

Crt :

CRT monitors and TVs contain and average of 4 pounds of lead each. Excessive lead and other toxins pose a
problem in landfills because they can leach into groundwater or, in the case of a lined landfill, force expensive
leachate treatment. In combustors, the lead winds up on the ash residue, which in turn disposed of in landfills. Lead
exposure ahs been linked with learning disabilities, behavioral problems and at very high levels, seizures, coma and
even death.

Batteries :

Lead-Acid/Automotive Batteries :

Lead batteries are this country¶s principal source of power for automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, boats, forklifts, golf
cats, lawn and garden tractors, and wheelchairs. These heavy, rectangular batteries contain sulfuric acid, which can
burn skin on contact.

Alkaline Batteries :

Alkaline batteries are standard household batteries. They are used in product from walkmans and clocks, to smoke
detectors and remote controls. Since -1994, most types contain no added mercury or only contain trace amounts.
These batteries are market ³no added mercury´ or may by market with a green tree logo.

Button Batteries :

These batteries are named for being small round and silver-colored. They are most commonly found in watches and
hearing aids. Many button batteries contain mercury of silver oxide, both metal that are toxic to humans when inhaled
or ingested.

Lithium Batteries :

These batteries are mainly used in computer, camcorders, laptop and cameras, lithium ignites when in contact with
water and has been notorious for causing serious fires.

Printers :

Most printer cartridges are easily recycled, refilled or re-built. But printer vendors sell the printer cheap, and make
their real money selling supplies. The ³right´ environmental solution is to sell new cartridges with a postage paid
mailer for returning the old one. Some advanced companies, such as Hewlett-Packard, have been known to do this
especially for laser printers.
½ld Refrigerators, Heat Pumps and Air Conditioners :

Mostly, old refrigeration equipment contains Freon, a chemical known as a Chlorinated Fluorocarbon or ³CFC´ Each
molecule of a CFC can destroy over 100,000 molecules of the earth¶s protective ozone coating, leading increased
risk of sunburn, cataracts and skin cancer for the entire population of the planet (human and animal)

Motor ½il :

Used motor oil contains heavy metals and other toxic substances and is considered hazardous waste. ½ne quart of
oil can kill fish in thousands of gallous of water. Motor oil containers should mention the danger of used oil to humans
and the environment.

Paper :

Most types of paper can be recycled. Newspapers have been recycled profitably for decades and recycling of other
papers is rising. Virgin paper pulp prices have soared in recent years prompting construction of more plants capable
of using waste paper. They key to recycling is collecting large quantities of clean, well-sorted, uncontaminated and
dry paper.

Glass, Steel Aluminum Cans and Foil

Glass, steel and aluminum are easy to recognize and recycle. Glass bottles must not be mixed with other types of
glass such as windows, light bulbs, mirrors, glass tableware, Pyrex or auto glass. Ceramics contaminate glass and
are difficult to sort out. Clear glass is the most valuable. Mixed color glass in near worthless and broken glass is hard
to sort out.

Plastic

With a little bit of care, plastic can be recycled. The awareness of recycling plastic is increasing rapidly. However,
there is one drawback. Different types of plastics must not be mixed together while recycling. This can ruin the entire
process of recycle.

The cost of recycling of a single computer in the United States is $ 20 while the same could be
recycled in India for only US $ 2,

One study shows that after spending typical US$ 12.5-19 per piece for a single computer with
colour monitor, a trader can earn around US$ 50-60 by selling its disassembled components,
modules to different recyclers or reusers and by recovering precious metals and other valuables

, small scrap dealers collect the e-waste from consumer with suitable compensatory price. The consumers
are also encouraged in putting the e-waste in recycling chain instead of storing the e-waste or throwing away in
municipality garbage. â
are one of the most efficient collectors of e-waste and also reduce the load of civil
agencies responsible for waste collection. Thus all the collected wastes are put back to effective use. E-waste is
collected in bulk quantity by large scrap dealers from government offices, public sector agencies, school, universities
and other corporate houses etc. The importers of scrap also collect discarded
electronics products in bulk quantity from various developed countries.

c {  

Collected e-waste from diversified sources is segregated in various categories such as components, modules, metals, glass and
plastics depending on the sale abilityfor highest economic returns.

The disassembly methods would be of two types, non±destructive and destructive. Non±destructive recovers the certain
disassembled parts for reuse while the destructive disassembly separates each material type for recycling processes. Non±
destructive method is not feasible as designs of the products are changing very fast, new functionalities are being added. The
composition of various electronic components has also gone a significant change in last few decades, which makes majority of
de-soldered components obsolete for re-use. The disassembly can be realised in the following ways. The dissembled items are
broadly classified into following categories:
i) Small & large structural metal parts, heat sinks.
ii) Small & large structural plastic parts.
iii) Printed circuit boards with IC Chips, electronic components and connectors.
iv) Ferrite and ceramic components.
v) Cables and wires.
vi) Glass components.

i) Enclosures made of plastics (can be sold to plastic reprocesses).

ii) Cables/ wires (power cords, CRT HV cable etc) of the system (can be stripped off insulator materials and copper wire thus
recovered).
iii) iron/ steel fittings and screws (can be sold to iron smelters).
iv) Lead rich glass present in the colour picture tube and computer monitors (CRTs can be mechanically
separated), however, the glasses have to be separated as high lead content and low lead or of lead free composition The cullet
of glasses can be sold to glass parts (panels, funnels) manufacturing units, after segregating glass culets of panel and funnel
separately.
v) Deflection yoke is further dismantled into ferrite part. The small populated PCB attached to cathode ray tube and present in
tuners are sent for further processing along with other populated PCBs.
