The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) sorting process is a critical stage in the responsible management of waste generated from electrical and electronic products.
The importance of proper WEEE sorting lies in preventing pollution and reducing the impact of waste on human health and the environment. Electrical and electronic waste may contain hazardous substances that can contaminate soil, water, and ecosystems if not managed correctly. Through efficient sorting, valuable materials such as metals, plastics, and glass can be recovered and recycled, helping to conserve natural resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
In addition, WEEE management and recycling are regulated by European and national legislation, which establishes strict requirements for the collection, treatment, recovery, and recycling of electrical and electronic waste in order to protect both the environment and public health.
Advanced WEEE Sorting Processes
Through our advanced WEEE sorting and treatment processes, we produce high-quality material fractions that meet stringent industry and regulatory standards.
Our processes include:
- Shredding – destruction and size reduction of electrical and electronic equipment.
- Grinding – processing of metal and plastic materials into smaller fractions.
- Sorting – precise material separation using Eddy Current, X-Ray, and electrostatic technologies.
- Washing – cleaning of metal, plastic, and glass components.
- Hazardous waste treatment – safe handling and treatment of hazardous materials.
- Fine fraction concentration – recovery and concentration of valuable fine materials.
- Preparation of materials for final recovery.
- Waste destruction services.
- Customs destruction services.
- Consumer protection (ANPC) destruction services.
- Military equipment recycling.
- Medical equipment decontamination.
- Destruction of goods prior to customs clearance and customs debt settlement.
- Destruction of confiscated products.
These processes generate material fractions that comply with the quality requirements established by EU Regulation No. 333/2011, for which TYBET OKO is certified, as well as the specific requirements of the smelters and refineries to which these materials are delivered for final recovery.
