  3. IAER ELECTRONICS RECYCLING INDUSTRY REPORT - 2005 • Publisher: Resource Recycling Magazine • Publication Date: October 2005 • In conjunction with E-Scrap Conference • New Industry Survey • To be conducted in June • New Industry Research • Updated & Expanded Industry Directory

  4. HIGHLIGHTS from IAER SURVEY 2003 • Electronics recycling companies in the USA: over 400 • Employees: over 7000 • Annual Revenue: over $US 700 million • Annual Volumes processed: • over 1.5 billion pounds (750K tons) • including more than 40 million units of computer equipment • electronics recycling process yielded approximately 900 million pounds of recyclable materials

  5. INDUSTRY DEMOGRAPHICS • Analysis of updated & expanded Industry Database • Resource Recycling Magazine Processor Study - 2004

  6. ELECTRONICS RECYCLERS in the USA (data from IAER database) Number of Recyclers Not including OEMs & NFPs 2005 2003

  7. U.S. ELECTRONICS RECYCLERS - Demographics Years in the business >20 16-20 11-15 6-10 Resource Recycling Magazine Processor Survey - 2004

  8. U.S. ELECTRONICS RECYCLERS - Demographics Number of Employees >200 100-199 75-100 50-74 25-49 Resource Recycling Magazine Processor Survey - 2004

  9. ANNUAL SALES Resource Recycling Magazine Processor Survey - 2004

  10. HIGHLIGHTS from IAER RESEARCH 2003Outlook to 2010 • Consumer electronics: • About 3 billion units will be scrapped • or an average of about 400 million units/year • Computer Equipment (from all sectors): • about one billion units will become potential scrap • or an average of more than 100 million units/year • Electronics Recycling Industry • to grow its capacity by a factor of 4 or 5

  11. EXAMPLES OF NEW RESEARCH From Recent Data & Reports • Resource Recycling Magazine Survey • EPA & Regional Programs Data • Consumer Electronics Trends

  12. MUNICIPAL COLLECTION PROGRAMS

  13. Collection Trends - Method Resource Recycling Magazine Collections Survey - 2004

  14. Collections Trends - Materials Resource Recycling Magazine Collections Survey - 2004

  15. EPA PLUG-IN PROGRAMStaples Pilots - 2004 % Collected – by weight

  16. RECENT WASTE STREAM DATA FEDERAL DATA (EPA/Franklin Associates – 2001) • Total generation of consumer electronics waste in the U.S. municipal waste stream • Over 2 million tons per year • ~1.3% of total municipal waste stream • Less than 10% recovered for recycling STATE DATA (MN, PA, WI, OR, VT Studies: 2000-2002) • Consumer electronics represents an average of 1.7% of municipal waste stream

  17. ITEMS COLLECTED in MUNICIPAL PROGRAMS (data from EPA 11) % by number of items

  18. Material Composition of Consumer Electronics in Municipal Waste Stream (data from EPA 5) % by weight

  19. Composition of Demanufactured Computer Equipment (data from UMass19) Plastics & Trash Wire Parts/Asm.

  20. COST ELEMENTS of RECYCLING (data from Minnesota 12) % of total costs

  21. Reuse of Electronics TVs Laptops Monitors Keyboards CPUs NERC Study - 2003

  22. EXPORT MARKETS

  23. CONSUMER ELECTRONICS U.S. Sales Trends(Consumer Electronics Association) • Total 2005 sales to increase 11% to $126 Billion • DTV sales increased 78% in 2004 to 7.3M units • Sales of portable MP3 players expected to exceed 10 M units in 2005 • 2005 sales of digital cameras expected to be more than 20 M units • Cell phone sales expected to reach 90 M units in 2005 and Global shipments of flat-screen monitors exceeded CRTs in 2004

  24. CELL PHONE TRENDS U.S. Subscribers - millions CTIA Survey – 2003

  25. CURRENT ISSUES & TRENDS • National/Regional Programs for the collection & recycling of consumer electronics • Disposition/handling of exported used electronics • Cell phone collection, reuse & recycling • Scrap metal markets • Industry consolidation

  26. CHALLENGES • Cost of logistics • Competition among processors • Sufficient processing volumes • Cost of processing • Marketing of materials • Plastics Resource Recycling Magazine Processor Survey - 2004

  27. OBSERVATIONS • The development of the electronics recycling industry was driven by commercial sector – but consumer electronics is becoming a factor • Computer equipment still comprises most of volumes (and value) being recycled • The volume and variety of electronics products continues to increase • The industry still emerging - fragmented, small Co’s, limited process technology & capital • but consolidation is in process
