Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Publication: Research - peer-review › Book chapter – Annual report year: 2011
Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is one of the fastest growing special waste types with an estimated
growth of 3–5% per year (Cui and Forssberg, 2003). WEEE is a very heterogeneous waste type that contains many
compounds that are considered to be harmful to both humans and the environment, as well as many metals that have
the potential of being recycled and reused. This makes the waste fraction (WEEE) very interesting as it is a problematic
waste as well as an important secondary resource.
