  3. Today’s Situation • Electronics recycling is a new industry • Electronics recycling is different from other kinds of recycling industries • complex materials • extremely labor intensive • There are many different scenarios present today • The industry is dynamic • Recycling technology innovation has found its way to electronics recycling EPR2/SUMMIT 2001

  4. Questions What can be done to improve efficiencies in the electronics recycling industry? • How can we reduce our operating costs? • How can we increase throughput? • How can we utilize our workforce more effectively? • How can we recycle more of what we process? • How can we improve the quality of our processed material? EPR2/SUMMIT 2001

  5. Where to Start • Know your objectives first • Consult with several companies • Know your current and projected volumes • Use the latest recycling technology innovations available to you • Be sure your end markets are in sync with your plans EPR2/SUMMIT 2001

  6. Available Options • Types of equipment • Advantages • Disadvantages EPR2/SUMMIT 2001

  7. Types of EquipmentBeing Used Today • Size reduction equipment • Low speed high torque shredders • Balers • Conveyors • Material handling equipment • CRT processing equipment • Screening equipment • Ferrous and non-ferrous separation • Magnets • Granulators • Pulverizers EPR2/SUMMIT 2001

  8. Advantages of Equipmentand Technology • Cost reduction • processing • transportation • Quality of output • Increase in throughout capability • Improved worker safety EPR2/SUMMIT 2001

  9. Disadvantages • Capital intensive • ROI ??? • Not all equipment can go through • Does not help with reuse • Turn key solution requires multiple pieces of equipment EPR2/SUMMIT 2001
