  1. CARE Electronics

  2. CARE Electronics(Comprehensive Approach for the Recycling and Eco-efficiency of Electronics) • CARE Electronics is an umbrella project within the EUREKA framework • CARE Electronics has positioned itself as the independent, industrial, environmental R&D network of the electronics and recycling industry in Europe • more than 60 members in Europe (and US)e.g. 3M, Apple, IBM, ICL, Matsushita, Motorola, NOKIA, Philips, Siemens, Sony, ... • Bi-annual International Symposium, Brokerage Event and Environmental Exhibition CARE INNOVATION

  3. CARE Electronics CARE Electronics is a strategic initiative to understand the international & national implications of sustainability for the electr(on)ics industry in the future. CARE Electronics is an independent, industrial R&D network with members from large & small companies & research organisations. CARE Electronics • forecasts products, technologies, services & societal expectations • identifies & researches strategic issues • provides a platform for dialogue with government, business, academia & society. • initiates and supports a series of projects which deliver sustainable solutions.

  4. Strategic CARE projectSCARE ! 2009

  5. Requirements Strategic Project • strategic topic which affects whole Europe (EEE, IPP, WEEE, RoHS, ...), • strong industrial participation (including large as well as small and medium sized companies), • partners from Central and Eastern Europe.

  6. Closing the Loop • Reduce material to landfill • Reduce hazardous substances • Reduce resource dependency • Use secondary materials

  7. Eco-design Material supplier Component supplier Manufacturer Retailer User Component Production Raw material processing assembly Production Distribution sales use Component reuse product repair & refurbish & reuse recycled material processing Disassembly/ sorting Take back/ Collection/ sorting Municipality Recycler End-of life management Roles and Responsibilities

  8. Strategic CARE project - SCARE Innovative Product/ System Design New Production Technologies Use Phase - Consumer Behaviour End of life Management Information Management Education and Training Financial and Economical Impacts

  9. Austria Belgium Czech Republic Denmark European Union France Germany Greece Hungary Ireland Italy Norway Poland Spain Sweden Switzerland The Netherlands United Kingdom EUREKA Country Contribution

  10. SCARE Finances • Overall Costs: 100+ MEURO (5 years) • Innovative Product/System Design 35% • New Production Technologies 15% • Use Phase (Consumer Behaviour) 2% • End of Life Management 30% • Information Management 8% • Education & Training 5% • Financial & Economical Impacts 5%

  11. SCARE Summary • Co-ordination of existing projects and networks by providing a „one stop shop“ for information on research and development projects in order to avoid duplication • initiating research projects among various partners as wells as initiating real pilot applications • transferring eco-efficient technologies from large enterprises within the EU to European SMEs as well as to organisations in Central and Eastern European Countries • > 80 partner from 18 countries, 5 years, 100+ million EURO • Participation in new projects still possible

  12. Re-use of products and components in IT equipment

  13. EOL - Services EOL-Possibilities ReUse EOL-Services Highest Level 1) Re-use of whole products • Collection/Transportation • Testing and Sorting • Data erasure and cleaning • Resale of working units • Manual and automated disassembling • Resale of subassemblies and components 2) Re-use of subassemblies and components 3) Material recycling 5) Incineration Lowest Level 6) Disposal as waste

  14. Asset Management of IT equipment • Sources: • obsolete equipment • excess equipment • Collection in co-operation with leading logistics companies • certified according ISO 9001 and 9002 standards • rich experience on national as well as on international levels • highest level of quality  Products have to be handled with care during collection and transportation

  15. Asset Management of IT equipment • Secure erasure of all data and software • Testing of all components for necessary repairs or upgrades • Cleaning • Re-marketing of re-usable products • second hand markets • co-operation with companies world-wide working in asset management of electr(on)ic products and components

  16. Asset Management of IT equipment • Products that cannot be re-used as whole: • disassembling into parts and components • re-marketing of subassemblies and components Key points: • process of high quality and innovation • best environmental standards • security of data • extraction of maximum value from obsolete/excess equipment

  17. Chip recovery technologies until now • manual process • tools: • tongs • tweezers • screwdrivers • de-soldering tools: • hot plates • heat guns • soldering irons • ovens

  18. Problems of “conventional” technologies • Quality of the re-use components • Heating of the chips (body & pins)  shortening of the remaining lifetime • No constant quality (manual process with different employees) • Small amounts of equal re-use components • Quality/Efficiency of the process dependent on the experience/knowledge of the employees  “Not enough” for High-End Applications

  19. High quality chip recovery • Intelligent, semi-automatic disassembly cell for printed circuit boards • recognition system • laser desoldering station • robot with special grippers • minimal thermal stress for the components  extended life-time for re-use components • process guided by market information • re-marketing via virtual market place

  20. TVTARGET Eco-effizient treatment of TV-sets and monitors in order to fulfil the recovery targets of the European Directive

  21. Background • Currently about 2 billion TV-sets in the world • WEEE-Directive: Recycling: minimum 70% of total weight Recovery: minimum 75%  only possible by dismantling • TV-sets/computer monitors disassembled manually: 6-8 person-minutes to disassemble one TV-set 4-6 person-minutes to disassemble one monitor  need for efficient technology

  22. Project Goal Development of economically feasible technology for the disassembling of TV-sets and monitors • Reduction of the disassembling time close to3 minutes per piece • Ability to disassemble all products of the group TV-sets and monitors • Identification of the producer - individual billing system • Possibility to generate spare parts

  23. Project topics Development of a methodology • to identify and separately remove all potentially hazardous substances • for suitable treatment or pre-treatment of CRTs that allows material streams open to novel applications to be obtained • for suitable treatment or pre-treatment of housings that provides material streams capable of later valorisation

  24. EUREKA Project Partner • Philips (NL) • Sony (DE) • Mirec (ES) • ReUse (AT) • STENA Technoworld (SE) • Indumetal Recycling (ES) • SAT (AT) • Gaiker (ES) • Robotiker (ES) • Fraunhofer IML (DE) • Vienna University of Technology (AT)

  25. ReLCD Eco-efficient Recycling and Reuse ofLiquid Crystal Displays (LCDs)

  26. EOL-Management Current Situation: • Rate of separate collection very low • Disassembling of LCDs and re-use of parts and components is done very rarely  too high costs for manual disassembling Current Treatment of LCDs: • Shredding • Incineration • Landfill

  27. EUREKA Project • Technology for LCD Recycling • Design of disassembly system • Test of System (Prototype) • LCD Test & Requalification • Integration of re-usable LCDs into new products / Repair • Eco-efficient treatment of the remaining materials

  28. Partner • Already committed:ActiveRecycling (UK), Electronics Display Recycling (AT), Innovative System Solutions (AT), SAT/VUT (AT), GAIKER (ES) • Looking for:SMEs (re)using LCDs in their products • Total Costs: 1,5 MEUR, Duration: 2 years • CRAFT, Deadline: February 2002
