  1. The Best-of-2-Worlds Philosophy Presented by: Drew McLean Authors: Feng Wang and Jaco Huisman

  2. Outline • Introduction • Key stages of the e-waste treatment chain - Gold recovery case study • Bo2W dismantling trials and pilot projects - China and India

  3. Introduction • Best-of-2-Worlds Philosophy • Provides practical solution for e-waste treatment • Stages of e-waste treatment chain • Collection • Toxic removal • Pre-processing • End-processing

  4. Case study: Gold recoveryScenario 1: Manual pre-processing

  5. Scenario 2: Mechanical pre- processing

  6. Scenario 3: Optimized shredding

  7. Scenario 4: Optimized shredding

  8. Scenario 5: Bo2W philosophy

  9. Dismantling trials and pilot projects: Objectives • Track dismantling time • Analyse process data Results • Environmental and economic benefits • Shift from complete dismantling to partial dismantling combined with mechanical processing produces similar results • Trials determined many factors influenced successful implementation

  10. Conclusions • Combining manual pre-processing and high tech end-processing achieves sustainable solutions for the treatment of e-waste. • Bo2W philosophy is an economic and environmentally friendly approach. • Jobs are generated in developing countries as a result of manual dismantling techniques.
