WEEE廃電気機器の洗浄

WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) refers discarded electrical or electronic devices, including items like computers, TVs and smartphones. These items often contain valuable metals, but also plastic components that can be recycle valuable PCR pellets.

Genius Machinery's recycling machines are engineered to handle the plastic components of WEEE after valuable metals have been extracted. Using advanced sorting, shredding, and processing techniques, these machines efficiently break down and recycle the plastic materials, and promoting sustainable reuse. These include equipment like Plastic Crusher, Rigid Washing Line, and Twin Shaft Plastic Shredder, all designed to facilitate efficacious WEEE Recycling.

What Is WEEE Plastic Recycling?

WEEE plastic recycling refers to the recovery and processing of plastic parts from Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)—such as computers, TVs, printers, and household appliances. After valuable metals are removed, the remaining plastics are shredded, cleaned, and converted into post-consumer recycled (PCR) pellets. These pellets are reused in manufacturing, helping reduce plastic waste and reliance on virgin materials.

Challenges Solved by WEEE Plastic Recycling

• Minimizes environmental harm caused by electronic plastic waste
• Maximizes material recovery from discarded electronics
• Supports sustainable and circular manufacturing

Key Benefits of WEEE Plastic Recycling Systems

• Efficient Recovery of E-Waste Plastics

  Advanced shredding and separation ensure high recovery rates of usable plastics.

• Clean Output with Rigid Washing Line

  Removes adhesives, labels, and contaminants from shredded plastic waste.

• Machinery Built for WEEE Plastic Types

  Tailored equipment designed for hard-to-process plastics from electronics.

• Supports Sustainable Production Models

  Generates high-quality PCR plastics, reducing dependence on virgin materials.

Workflow of a WEEE Plastic Recycling Line

• Twin Shaft Plastic Shredder – Break down bulky electronic plastic parts into smaller, manageable flakes
• Automated or Manual Sorting – Separate mixed plastics and remove non-plastic contaminants before washing
• Washing Systems – Clean sorted flakes by removing dust, labels, and residual contaminants
• RECO Force Side Feeding Plastic Recycling Machine – A compact, integrated solution for filtration, pelletizing, and automated control.
  • Plate Filter – Removes micro-impurities for higher pellet purity and consistent quality
  • Hot Die Face Pelletizing System – Converts clean, filtered flakes into uniform PCR plastic pellets
  • Automated Control System – Provides centralized operation, process monitoring, and safety interlocks

Applications of WEEE Plastic Recycling

• Electronics Casing Manufacturing

  Examples: TV housings, printer covers, computer casings
  Recycled WEEE plastics offer the durability and moldability required for producing electronic device exteriors, making them a cost-efficient alternative to virgin materials.

• Automotive Components

  Examples: Dashboards, interior trims, under-hood parts
  WEEE-derived recycled pellets are used in the automotive sector due to their strength, heat resistance, and compliance with recycled content targets.

• Plastic Pipe and Profile Production

  Examples: Conduits, cable covers, protective sleeves
  Recycled WEEE plastics can be extruded into various pipe and profile products, especially for non-pressure and structural applications.

• Plastic Pellet Manufacturing

  Examples: PCR pellet supply for OEMs and converters
  WEEE recycling machines produce consistent, high-quality pellets that meet industrial standards for post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials.

• Waste Management and Recycling Centers

  Examples: Centralized e-waste processing facilities
  These facilities use WEEE plastic recycling systems to handle large volumes of e-waste, recovering valuable plastic and reducing landfill burden.
