Problems in waste management in the aspect of the secondary use of plastics from WEEE

Waste of electrical and electronic equipment is one the fastest growing waste streams in the EU, with some 9 million tonnes generated in 2005 and expected to grow to more than 12 million tonnes by 2020. Electrical and electronic products contain substances, which are valuable as well as often also c...

description Waste of electrical and electronic equipment is one the fastest growing waste streams in the EU, with some 9 million tonnes generated in 2005 and expected to grow to more than 12 million tonnes by 2020. Electrical and electronic products contain substances, which are valuable as well as often also critical. The main aim of the paper is presentation the methodological approach to identification of bromine or chlorine presence in components (in WEEE). This followed by assessment of strengths and weaknesses of the most popular methods. The main analysis for identification of bromine and chlorine in plastics have been presented.
