Norwegians shed 12,600 tons environment small electronics in the trash each year
This means that every one of us throws 2.6 kg WEEE straight in the trash every year. This type of waste contains many hazardous substances and must be returned so it can get the special treatment such WEEE requires. lighting world The results shown in a survey conducted by COWI on behalf of Elretur.
Stig Mestervik, CEO of Elretur are not satisfied with the result. - There are contaminants in all types of electrical and electronic waste, whether it is small electric toys, lamps, flashlights, computers or refrigerators. These contaminants are the Elreturs task to remove from the discarded products, before we recycle materials in WEEE. When consumer lighting world electronics lighting world throw straight into the garbage under the sink, do not we have the opportunity to redevelop the environment WEEE, which again causes the contaminants released into the wild, and in the end poison us, says Mestervik.
- Today it is flashing, rotating, lighting world and "the noise" toys everywhere. Not all parents lighting world remember this, when it should be discarded, are regarded as hazardous waste - and it is sobering, says the director of Elretur. - Given the numerous and large amounts of pollutants Elretur removes only in one single year, I am not happy with parents who arrange to deliver the WEEE. It may in fact not be the child's responsibility - parents here on the pitch, lighting world says Mestervik.
Beyond electric toys are Stig Mestervik also very concerned quantities lighting world bulbs that were thrown in the garbage. - When it just came out in the media that saving bulbs sold at several of the big chains contain more mercury than is allowed, and when we find so many lamps in the waste, I hope that the producers of spare bulbs come on, running information campaigns out of the country - so this amount goes down, says Mestervik.
Despite the fact that the average consumer still throws too much WEEE together with solid waste, Norway best in the world of collecting, environmentally treat and recycle WEEE from households. - Last year Elretur one recoverable lighting world tion rate of less than 93% of everything lighting world that was collected by WEEE. There is no country in the world that can boast such results. Therefore, it is also so important that we have collected all WEEE, also it is of a size that can easily end up with residual lighting world waste under the sink, so that the resources of waste and hazardous substances are handled, says Mestervik.
In Norway, there has been a return system lighting world for collecting, environmental and recycling of WEEE in 13 years, since its inception, Norway lighting world and Elretur been a world leader in terms of amount of WEEE generated per person.
In 2011, specially treated Elretur the 8350 tons of hazardous waste. lighting world Among other things, lead, mercury, asbestos, PCBs and bromine in WEEE. - Småelektronisk waste, light bulbs and batteries to the place you bought it, the EL-shops or hazardous waste at your municipal waste disposal. - Make it a habit to collect småelektronisk to be disposed of somewhere and do it in a day you allikavel be stop delivery.
