1. Collection and treatment of WEEE, monitoring of the targets for recovery, technical standards for collection and treatment, information Nicosia, 18.04.2013 Maria Krasteva Waste streams expert

2. Topics of the presentation • Live cycle of WEEE • Permits for operation • Standards for treatment • Monitoring of targets for treatment • Records • Annual report • Obligations for reporting of the institutions

3. Scheme of the life cycle of EEE and the material balance ofWEEE treatment Facili ties for treatment of separately collec ted WEEE Recycling of ferrous metal Com pany consumers of recycled materials Reatiler and distributors Recycling of non-ferrous metal Consumers of EEE busness/household Recycling of plastics Recycling of glass Service centres for EEE Recycling of rubber Collection facilities for the separate collection of WEEE Exreacting of preciouse matals Insineration facilities Removal of material and components from Annex VII Disposal

4. Permits of the operators • Any establishment or undertaking who collect or/and transport or/and treat WEEE shall hold a valid permit granted from the Department • Applied technologies shall be carry out in a way to ensure achievement of targets • The permit shall include all conditions, necessary for compliance with technical requirements pursuant Annexes concerning technical standards • Collectors of WEEE and ATF need to be able to demonstrate these recycling rates are achieved

5. Treatment standars • Separately collected WEEE undergoes proper treatment. • Proper treatment, other than preparing for re-use, and recovery or recycling operations shall, as a minimum, include the removal of all fluids and a selective treatment in accordance with Annex VII. • Any establishment or undertaking shall carrying out collection or treatment of WEEE in compliance with the technical requirements set out in Annex VIII.

6. Treatment requirements Regulation names specific components to be removed, for example: • PCBs capacitors • CFCH • Mercury switches or backlight lamps • Batteries • Printed circuit boards • Toner cartridges • Plastic containing brominated flame retardants• • Cathode ray tubes (CRT’s) • Refrigerant gases • Liquid crystal displays (LCD’s)

7. Treatment standards for a treatment sites 1. Sites for storage (including temporary storage) : • impermeable surfaces for appropriate areas with the provision of spillage collection facilities and, where appropriate, decanters and cleanser-degreasers, • storage area for different categories WEEE • weatherproof covering for appropriate areas. 2. Sites for treatment of WEEE: • scales to measure the weight of the treated waste, • impermeable surfaces and waterproof covering for appropriate areas with the provision of spillage collection facilities • storage area for different categories WEEE • appropriate storage for disassembled spare parts, • appropriate containers for storage of batteries, PCBs/PCTs and other hazardous waste such as radioactive waste, • equipment for the treatment of water in compliance with health and environmental regulations.

10. Recovery targets • The achievement of targets shall be calculated for: • each category, by dividing the weight of the WEEE that enters the recovery or recycling/preparing for re-use facility, after proper treatment by the weight of all separately collected WEEE for each category, expressed as a percentage. • For the purpose of calculating these targets, operators who carry out collection and treatment of WEEE keep records on the weight of each WEEE categories, its components, materials or substances when leaving (output) the collection facility, entering (input) and leaving (output) the treatment facilities and when entering (input) the recovery or recycling/ preparing for re-use facility.

11. Necessary data for reporting the targets • Put on the market EEE • Average weight of collected WEEE per categories from private household ( from historical and new EEE ) • Average weight of Collected WEEE other than use in private household ( from historical and new EEE ) • Average weight of recyclable waste entering (input) the facilities for recovery or recycling and landfilling, located in TCC • Average weight of recyclable waste exported for recycling in another state (total weight in tones) • WEEE re-used as whole appliances (tonnes) • When determining the amount of materials and components of EEE can be used estimates for average percentage of metal, plastic, glass in different categories EEE

12. Large white goods (category I) - average content –estimation of category composition -75%

13. Category I- fridges estimation of category composition

14. Category II, small household appliances, estimation of the category’s composition (50% recycling )

15. Category 3 –IT telecomunications equipment - estimation of category composition (65%)

16. Category 4 consumer equipment, estimation of category composition (65%)

17. Category 5-Lighting - estimation of category composition (50%) for gas discharge lamp (80%)

18. Category 7 - Toys, leysure and sport equipment estimation of category composition 50%

19. Average weight of equipents for some of the categories(AnnexI)

20. Kept information for collected, stored and treated WEEE • The persons who carry out collection, transportation, storage and treatment of WEEE shall keep records for the date of delivery, quantity of accepted WEEE on the site, stored and treated quantity of different categories for each separate site. • The information shall be kept on a paper and in electronic form

21. Annual report for collection and storage of WEEE

22. Delivered WEEE to the site of collection or ATF by different means of collection

23. Annual report for treatment of WEEE

24. Annual report for treated WEEE

25. Annual report for exported waste

26. Thank you very much for your attention! Maria Krasteva, waste stream expert
