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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
