Development and promotion of the WEEE prevention culture in Greece

(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

Recovery of rare earth elements from luminophores using the red alga Galdieria

Čížková M., Bišová K., Zachleder V., Mezricky D., Rucki M., (Corresponding) Vítová M.

Topic:

Electric and electronic waste

The red alga Galdieria phlegrea was used as an experimental organism to test bioaccumulation of rare earth elements (REEs) from luminophores. Algal cells were cultured mixotrophically in a liquid medium with addition of glycerol as a source of carbon. Luminophores from two different sources (...Read more

Recovery of critical and precious metals from E-Waste

Ippolito N., Birloaga I., Ferella F., Innocenzi V., De Michelis I., (Corresponding) Vegliò F.

Topic:

Electric and electronic waste

Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is the fastest growing waste stream in Europe. This waste contains a high amount of critical and valuable metals as the rare earths defined critical materials from European Commission (2010) and the precious metals. Exhaust fluorescent lamps are...Read more
