Abstract

The discarding of electronics is a growing problem around the world. This paper first analyzes the possible limitations in current electronics recycling models and methods through the review of the literature, and this paper then presents a study of the complete electronics recycling process based on electronics features. The five main stages in the recycling process are described: collection, product recovery, component recovery, material recovery, and energy recovery. During each recycling stage, the work involved, the advanced techniques may be used, and the tools conducting the work are detailed discussed. Finally this paper presents conclusions and recommendations for conducting effective and efficient electronics recycling.
