E-waste Turkey!
15.10.2008 Nationality
Cebit Information Fair had a thread that wants to pay attention to a different thread. Exitcomwise to provide solutions to the growing e-waste problem with developing mononoliji!
[[T]Exitcom Recycling said General Manager of Germany and Turkey companies and also Mr. Murat İlgar, how e-wastes matches the world and Turkey, and in this context, [[T][6][ Can you first mention Exitcom and its activities?]]Exitcom, established in Hannover, Germany in 1999, is the first Turkish company that serves waste electric and electronic equipment (WEEE). Since 2002, Exitcom has been successful meetings in many major projects in Turkey’s activities in 2003 with its expertise and leadership identity in the field of work and investments.
[The company continues its services at 2 main points, including Germany/Hannover and Turkey/Kocaeli; e-waste offers integrated solutions and services in environmental technologies, reverse supply chain management. [
]Exitcom shows the importance of ISO 14001, ISO 9001, OHSAS 18001 management systems integrated into the end-to-end operations with an annual capacity of 15 thousand tons of waste processing. [
Exitcom, which has proved the return rates from 92 to 95%, each of which is experienced and expert staff, with an innovative and dynamic management approach, continuing its activities with the aim of creating a clean environment and future.
We provide solutions to our customers with e-waste, environmental technologies, reverse supply chain managemen Tags. Our main activity is e-waste recovery, but we are transportation for snacks, corporate companies, public institutions and organizations.
You are the first company in Turkey that builds the e-waste system. Is this information correct? How many companies currently operate in the field of electronic waste in Turkey?]][
[In Europe, we have given mission to use our experience to contribute to the development of Turkey recovery sector. In this context, we have been working in the projects out by the Ministry of Environment. Wed various awareness projects. We provide the largest value-added value to the environment and economy in the areas we operate.
However, in Turkey AEEE is not enough to count that the recovery industry is expected. More scrapers and a uncontrolled market can be controlled by free baggage Tags. I think that our location in the market will be more robust with the convenience of in this area.
Do your work cover all over Turkey?]
]Yes, the goal of our work cover all over Turkey. But this topic is not enough an active issue that has been recognized in Turkey, we are currently doing infrastructure works on behalf of all Turkey. WEEE PROTECTION, which will gain working active in Turkey, are expected to come to our country as soon as possible with European Union compliance laws. In this area, we aim to change the maximum return to Turkey as a Electronic waste. We aim to provide the protection of our raw materials sources with the conversion of wastes and the protection of the energy required by preventing energy consumption, environmental responsiveness and transformation to the country economy. The situation of the following, but not only in Turkey, but we have activated large manufacturer vehicles and production in intensive organized industrial zones, our lact awareness studies, organized industrial zones, presentations, errors and all intellectual producers.

[How much waste electronic is collected in a year? What is the difference to this economy? How much e-waste was collected in Turkey?]
[The waste we collect in the past years in Turkey 2 thousand tons; this is also about 600 tons of scrapers from trade maxatted wastes. So the waste collected here is around 400 tons. The amount of waste processing in our facility in Germany is 3 thousand tons, I want to draw your attention to the difference between. I am also talking about the work done not from the capacity of these problems. People are cheating on the amount of strength and waste processing. Exitcom’s secret is about 15 thousand tons in Germany. We believe that we collect 8-10 thousand tons with the deals we have made. We will waste 6 thousand tons in the facility in Turkey. We will perform the replacement of all electrical and electrical equipment in accordance with our in Germany activities.
[ Which is the most advanced country in E-waste/which are?]]
[E-waste market has a tremendous momentum due to the shortening of developing technology and product life in recent years. Due to the quickest technological review in the fields of information and consumer electronics, users are connected to the existing technologies of vascularity.. As a result of this, e-waste has been the sustainable production waste type, it has a large sector to bring process, process, bring to the raw material market and therefore to the economy.
In the electronic waste market on the world, an increase of 5% to 8% per year. According to the United Nations environmental program, all electronic waste sources around the world will be calculated, the annual amount of 20 to 50 million tons is forecast. This coincides with 5% of the annual waste over the world. (Nairobi Declaration; United Nations Environment Programme, 2006)
]]] [According to theOECD environmental report, it is estimated that Turkey will double the amount of e-waste, which explains the environment as of 2010. [
The study carried by the University of the Combined Nations (UNU) reveals that 8,3 million tons of e-constructed in the EU27 countries can be collected only 2,2 million tonsnes, while styles to the results of the same research; in 2011, the amount of e-waste in the total of EU27 countries will approach the limit of 10 million tons, and this waste can collect 5.3 million tons. [
Today it is estimated that there are more than 1 billion computers on the world. The average life of a computer range from 2 to 5 years. This time is 18 months. Durable materials; TV, refrigerator, oven etc. average 15 years are used. [
WEEE has been in force on 13 February 2003, but it is not thrown domestic with garbage of electric and electronic waste, and independent of other European Union countries in Switzerland to ensure proper force to the environment. In July 1998, VREG management has been in force. With this application, wastes are planned to be given irrespective. With Weee, she is not covered. The final user is not guaranteed the costs when buying the product!In 2006, the inviçrede 131 kg/person waste electronic is collected.
ElektroG is the law that enters force on March 24, 2006 in Germany and include RoHS Directive. (ElektroG=WEEE+RoHS). After the production of electronic equipment and lose its function, it was removed for the administration of environmental impacts. [[
[email protected] In Germany, 1.8 million tons of electric and electronic devices were sold, 22 kg per person. [
From year collection points, from synthetic and floods to 1,2 million tons of electric and electronic waste are collected; per person is equivalent to 15 kg horse.
There are 1500 collection points in Germany and 7000 containers; about 300 electronic waste demontage company has 120 waste electronic manual and mechanical processing facility. [
]What is the harm caused by the danger and economy that e-waste if it is not collected and reclaimed?]]
]E-waste (TV, computer, printer, phone, fax, copier, screens, radio, video, camera, DVD, VCR, CRT, LED, CCD, laser, integrated circuits, semiconductors, printed circuits, sensors, cables, iPod, MP3, medical devices etc. ) mainly contain plastic(s), metal(s) and glass.
These wastes contain dangerous substances when they are disassembled, tested or shredded again for gain/user. These wastes can pose a danger to the environment when they are thrown in order to be risky for the user in normal condition. E-waste can contain both stones and dangerous. dangerous/toxic substances in e-waste passes both work and environmental health when they are thrown/removed.
Currently television tubes are one of the biggest problem in Turkey. There are about 2 kilograms lead and phosphorus in the TV tube. Studies on this topic are not so simple. Seen in Turkey, they receive televisions, plastic, copper and tube. I know that there are 40 million annual television production in Turkey. Accordingly consider that it is a television tube near 40 million. There are 2 weight lead in this one television tube between 10-15 kilograms. We also head about half meters square or slightly less space. You can predict the time of the danger when you think about weight and space. Where to go in Turkey? There is also a big problem in this regard. In Europe we send them to companies that recycle the tube. Facilities in Brazil or other countries. But after the LCD output, it started to turn on on at the moment. That’s why it’s the biggest problem in Europe with the effect that are high. Checking this, our R&D works on the use of these tubes in different places.
How much are they eat? Where to use again?][
Electronic wastes are accessible in our enclosure and are recovered with the processes of decomposing to the raw material. E-waste metals, plastics etc., which are decomposed to raw materials sources. As raw material is turned into the source, production is offered in our facility. The raw material source is shaped as a new product by making plastic and metal in the raw material of another product. This process continues to be a biteviye. Made of raw materials from the old substance and helps in the session of a new product.
]] What are yourkind in Turkey?]]
]We cater to manufacturers and end users of electrical and electronic products asExitcom. We aim to reach domestic end users through challenges and work in this area. Thanks to the sub-structure work we will do before entering the administration, I can count that we will have an undoubted share in this sector.
Due to the fact that the electric and electronic equipment Directive has been published and entered into force, it is very early to count something about current market shares. However, we can count that we have a share of 40% in the intellectual sector Home. With the project that we plan to perform, we will load to a better position.
This year, especially for municipal projects, end domestic users are experiencing great problems in the collection of waste as they can not be used as an increase in existing collection systems. We are trying to build reasonable system prototype by reviewing social trends in this regard. [email protected] [email protected]
] Then you want to add?]]]
[email protected][In order to develop the sector in which we are located, people need to develop environmental awareness in a way. I would like to express before again that we need to take more responsibility as an individual in the framework of our responsibility. In order to be the difficulties of the best possible reduction and recovery techniques, which will provide minimal impact to the environment, you can take more stable steps as the company.
Do not understand our biggest problem in our country. Our people are waiting for high payments in return of electronic wastes (including top managers of corporate resources). The system in Europe is fully reversed. So you have to pay the fee to throw and dispose a finished product in your hands. This is very important to stay in our mentality. We do not pay as good as scrapers for wastes as they are more licensed and moving with environmental awareness. The reason why the costs are high is the processing of the waste at the damage to nature. We carry out projects with disabilities and educational institutions to raise awareness about how our people get rid of. We’re also concerned that it’s a long process that’s going to be right away from the first teaching
]. It is also a goal that can expect as a result of a specific state policy.
