(Corresponding) Charitopoulou T., Vogiatzidaki E., Gkitzeni I., Malliaris M.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
WEEE streams challenge the goals towards a circular economy, since WEEE contain valuable and scarce resources that could be prepared for a second life or recovered. In the framework of the project LIFE REWEEE (LIFE14 ENV/GR/000858), Hellenic Recycling Agency (HRA) aims to raise awareness among...Read more

Current state and challenges in WEEE recycling industry in Serbia - case study
(Corresponding) Berežni I., Batinić B., Stanisavljević N., Marinković T.
Topic:
Electric and electronic waste
Waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is defined as a special waste flow due to the fact that it contains hazardous materials and should not be mixed and treat with other waste streams. In order to ensure adequate environmental protection and proper management of this waste flow,...Read more
Analysis of the content of germanium, tellurium and thallium in the grounded waste of electronic equipment
(Corresponding) Fornalczyk A., Willner J., Jablonska-Czapla M., Rachwal M.
Topic:
Hazardous waste management
The article draws attention to the problem of the presence in waste electrical, electronic equipment (WEEE) of selected metals from the group of critical metals (germanium), strategic metals (tellurium) and highly toxic elements (thallium). Due to low content of these metals in e-waste, they are...Read more
Prior electro-mechanical separation to improve metal recovery from ceramic-rich electronic waste using bioleaching
(Corresponding) Baniasadi M., Ray D., Graves J., Bolton R., Renshaw D., (Corresponding) Farnaud S.
Topic:
Solid waste management
PCBs, as one of the most valuable streams of e-waste, are a considerable source of precious metals, but also contain considerable amounts of plastic and ceramic. These non-metallic fractions interfere with and can inhibit the efficiency of metal recovery, particularly for precious and rare earth...Read more
