EEE

The 25th anniversary edition of ICBR innovated this year and proposed a unique experience for delegates to choose between attending in person or online. All presentations, panel discussion, and workshop were featured on-site and virtually for the delegates from around the globe.

The EU has published its communication around “Critical Raw Materials Resilience: Charting a Path towards greater Security and Sustainability”. WEEE Forum supports the EU’s quest for resilience in supply of raw materials.

Following its success in 2019, and despite the pandemic, the third International E-Waste Day will be held on the 14th October 2020 to promote the correct disposal of e-waste throughout the world.

With this move, Stadler wants to extend its offering to include recycling of electronic waste.

A study by the Öko-Institut was recently commissioned by the RAL Quality Assurance Association to evaluate the different treatment paths currently used for boilers and hot-water storage tanks (or storage water heaters as they are also known) containing CFC-blown or hydrocarbon-blown insulation foams.

Upfront the 25th International Congress for Battery Recycling, organizer ICM has talked to Roman Stiftner, Managing Director of the Austrian Non-Ferrous Metals Federation.

The last few years have seen increasing demand for climate-compatible and sustainable methods of treating the CFC- and hydrocarbon-blown foams used in the construction, automotive and other industrial sectors.

To minimise fire hazards caused by lithium batteries, Lindner‘s FPS (Fire Prevention System) detects overheated particles in the material stream, cools them to a safe temperature and makes sure that objects that cannot be cooled can be safely removed by hand.

Today, lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are considered by many as one of the best technologies for sustainable transport since they provide high energy and power per unit of battery weight, allowing them to be lighter and smaller than other rechargeable batteries.
