Definition of Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) also known as Electronic Waste

Electronic waste (E-waste) refers to discarded electrical or electronic devices that have reached the end of their useful life or are no longer in use. E-waste includes a wide range of electronic devices and equipment that have been discarded, often due to technological advancements, defects, or obsolescence. These devices may contain hazardous materials and components that require special handling and disposal methods to prevent environmental pollution and health risks.

E-waste is typically categorized into several main categories based on the type and size of the electronic equipment, kindly visit our website for more information on: Or visit our website under www.eranpc.co.za/for-the-public/what-can-be-recycled/. These categories include:

Small Electronic Waste:

• Small electronic devices that are portable and often used for personal or household purposes.
• Examples: Mobile phones, digital cameras, calculators, MP3 players, and handheld gaming devices.

Medium Electronic Waste:

• Medium-sized electronic devices that are more substantial than small electronics but are still considered consumer-grade.
• Examples: Laptops, desktop computers, computer peripherals (such as keyboards and mice), and flat-screen televisions.

Large Electronic Waste:

• Large electronic appliances and equipment used for various purposes, including entertainment and home appliances.
• Examples: Refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, microwave ovens, and large televisions.

ICT Electronic Waste (Information and Communication Technology):

• Electronic equipment related to information technology and communication.
• Examples: Servers, networking equipment (routers and switches), fax machines, and business-grade copiers.

Specialized Electronic Waste:

• This category may encompass various electronic devices used in specific industries, research, or medical fields.
• Examples: Laboratory equipment, medical devices, industrial machinery, and scientific instruments.

It’s important to note that e-waste can contain valuable materials like metals and plastics that can be recycled and reused. However, e-waste also often contains hazardous substances, such as lead, mercury, and flame-retardant chemicals, which can be harmful to the environment and human health if not properly managed and disposed of. Therefore, the proper recycling and disposal of electronic waste are essential to minimize its negative impact on the environment and public health.
