Plastic flakes recovered using our process are compounded and sold as pellets suitable for use in injection molding applications. Polypropylene (PP), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and high impact polystyrene (HIPS) have been in our product portfolio for nearly a decade. We now participate in the circular economy by selling these products into applications including new electrical and electronic equipment (E&EE). PP, ABS and HIPS make up only slightly over half of the plastics in WEEE, though, so recovery of additional plastics is desirable for both economic and environmental reasons. Recently we have begun to recover polycarbonate (PC) and blends of PC with ABS (PC/ABS) to expand our range of plastic products. This paper looks at the challenges of recovering plastics from WEEE, as well as the properties of the PC/ABS product we have recovered and compounded into pellets. Finally, we describe how the design of E&EE can enable the use of post-consumer recycled plastics from WEEE.","PeriodicalId":187870,"journal":{"name":"2016 Electronics Goes Green 2016+ (EGG)","volume":"40 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120904916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indicators must be simple and easy to apply, but they must give reliably information about the status and condition of a system to the involved stakeholders. Indicators must hence be selected aspects from a complex system. The forthcoming paper addresses this demands within the development of a product-specific indicator setup by means of the consideration of energy and resource efficiency as well as product quality. Today energy efficiency dominates in the product-related environmental protection. The result is that indicators address the energy consumption, in particular in the use phase, as the priority aspect in the consideration of the environmental impact of products. In a product the performance and lifetime should increase, whereas energy and resource consumption should decrease. A case study on LED lighting systems where chosen to empirically verify and show the application of the developed SERI - “Specific Energy and Resource Indicator”. Looking into detail, two LED lighting systems were compared by using the SERI. The comparison shows the possibilities of the indicator, but also the weaknesses.","PeriodicalId":187870,"journal":{"name":"2016 Electronics Goes Green 2016+ (EGG)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126438417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These sustainability indicators are based on the following concepts: (1) the triple bottom line forms the basis of the evaluation criteria, (2) the same unit is used for every evaluation criterion, and (3) the sustainability indicators can be used to measure a diverse range of ICT solutions and services with different goals. The sustainability indicators are divided into four layers for simplicity, and the triple bottom line and “satisfaction” constitute the first layer. Since the notion of “society” is broad, this layer is further split into “safety”, “health”, and “comfort” then positioned in the second layer. The third layer includes indicators such as “information security” and “ubiquity” from the ICT perspective. In this paper, we propose a new layer consisting of improved sustainability indicators of “decreased social loss”, “decreased business cost”, “decreased user's cost”, “increased business chance”, and “decreased user's cost”. These indicators make it possible to distinguish positive/negative impact as well as target stakeholders of the provided additional value of the ICT solutions and services. We estimated the improved indicators using example ICT services.

Computer servers have been analysed in an ecodesign preparatory study. For the most representative products, the least life cycle cost (LLCC) has been identified: it minimizes the total cost of ownership for the consumer and fosters manufacturers to improve their products with existing technologies as well and providing the optimum level from a regulatory perspective. On the basis of the LLCC assessment and related product efficiency level, ecodesign requirements can be proposed, bearing in mind the principle of technology neutrality and pushing the market towards increased efficiency levels. The preparatory study confirmed that computer servers are products responsible for a significant share of electricity consumption in the EU. Ecodesign requirements could result in environmentally effective and sustainable policy options, also from an industry competitiveness perspective. The requirements may cover hardware aspects, in particular efficiency of the power supply units, operating temperature and product's efficiency, both in idle and active state. For the latter, the presence of standardized and accurate testing methods is crucial. Moreover, possible resource efficiency requirements may be proposed, in particular to promote reparability, reusability and recyclability. In order to help identifying the best regulatory approach, several policy options are outlined.","PeriodicalId":187870,"journal":{"name":"2016 Electronics Goes Green 2016+ (EGG)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114843481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Minimum Efficiency Performance Standards (MEPS) for voluntary or mandatory initiatives use allowances to accommodate for these functionalities. With increasing functionality also the number of allowances tends to increase. The problem is to set the right number and level of allowances, especially when applying multiple allowances to one product. Too many or too high allowances will not stimulate manufacturers to make their products more efficient, while too little or too low allowances may inhibit products with useful functionalities to enter the market. We analyse the allowances applied to complex set top boxes by the EU voluntary agreement. From the comparison of actual consumption with the allowed energy consumption we conclude that some allowances are not needed at all and we estimate the appropriate level of other allowances. We find that a higher number of allowances correlates with a larger difference between allowed and actual energy consumption. Therefore we provide a suggestion to take into account the synergies of multiple allowances applied to one product.","PeriodicalId":187870,"journal":{"name":"2016 Electronics Goes Green 2016+ (EGG)","volume":"450 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125804577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
