The Life-cycle Of Electronics
In Finland, electrical and electronic equipment for consuming more natural resources than the use of equipment
. Therefore, it is better to use the same device a longer and, if necessary, repaired by it , as the lower power switch newer model. However, the life of electronic diminishing in recent years. In Western countries, the computer life fell between 1997 and 2005 from six months to two, even if the manufacturer of machines should work for about seven years.
The consumer tends to purchase a new device cheaper and more convenient alternative than the old repair. This is affected by fallen prices of new equipment, repair and replacement parts difficult experience of difficult access. Companies should invest in it, that the older equipment would be available spare parts, and that the renovation a breeze , and the consumer would be less expensive option than buying a new device. The more and more manufacturers offer a compatible replacement parts and accessories, it is more sustainable consumer electronics is going to be. For example, charger compatibility of different models and brands is a step better.
Current legislation requires all importers and manufacturers to manage electrical and electronic waste collection, reuse and recycling. Are no longer used electronic equipment is classified as hazardous waste, and may not be disposed of via normal garbage confusion. The primary objective of the legislation is electronic waste re-use, and only after dismantling and recycling of materials. Finland returned to the collection of electronic waste, however, only a fraction ends up re-use . Devices have been laying their owners often in cabinets for so long that the market for new products can be found already a lot more versatile designs at affordable prices. Limited selection of used equipment and new equipment low prices to attract hesitant consumers to choose a new product. Buyers do not necessarily know where their local high street can buy used electronics.
Anyone can add a re-use by providing equipment used in the collection immediately after the use ends. The best equipment to be utilized when it is delivered directly to the rehabilitation and re-use of a specialized agency, and also attach the included cables and accessories.
Conserve natural resources, it is important to recycle non-reusable electronic waste. For example, mobile phones, the majority of the material can be recovered and reused. In Finland, sold as two million a year, a mobile phone. Two million mobile phones should be decommissioned by recycling recovered 30 kilograms of gold, 600 kilograms of silver and 20 tons of copper, not to mention the plastic. So far, nearly half of which are no longer mobile phones, however, ends up lying on the desk drawers.
Electronic waste is a global and growing problem. For example, in Finland alone discarded television sets were generated last year by about 9 400 tonnes, which means almost 350 000 in the receiver a year. the EU, estimated at up to 75 percent of electronics waste is the so-called "hidden Flow", which means it will be a collection and handling excluded, and may end up in landfills or developing countries. Even in Finland, of all electronic waste is not known what will happen to it. Phones and the computer you are excluded from the statistics, the amount of waste streams can be tens of percent.
European consumers from electronic waste has been transported in violation of law in developing countries, including China and Ghana, where the resources for its proper handling is not. According to Greenpeace, the EU leaves the electronic waste, despite legislation prohibiting the export to Africa on a daily basis thousands of old electronic equipment and their components. Some devices will be corrected and put into use again, but a large proportion end up broken up. In developing countries, containing dangerous goods such as appliances may be burned or dismantled by hand without protective equipment. Reclaimer in addition to toxic substances are exposed to the waste treatment areas residents. Electronics Manufacturers should accept responsibility for the entire product life cycle of manufacturing to the management of waste up.
