EU's WEEE Directive puts the responsibility for the disposal or recycling of consumer electronics back on the manufacturer. Pb, Hg, Cr⁶⁺, PBB, PBDE and Cd, along with Cl, are among the many toxins that must be identified for the WEEE Directive. This Directive specifically requires separate collection and recycling of Hg-containing components and plastics containing Br-flame retardant.

During the recycling of EEE products, PVC (Cl) should be sorted out as it adversely affects the quality of other recycled products when processed in combination; and, any HCl produced can corrode recycling equipment.

Innov-X offers a proven solution to screen waste plastics for Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr, Br, Sb and Cl to help industry meet EU's WEEE Directive.
