The waste of electrical and electronic equipment is converted at the Recydur plant into raw materials. The European directive on WEEE prescribes minimal recycling targets of 75%. Our treatment facility meets this requirement easily.

Our production process is characterised as below:
1. Manual sorting of hazardous substances like batteries, asbestos and ink cartridges
2. Mechanical crushing of the material causing internal parts to be liberated undamaged; freed internal batteries are sorted out manually
3. Crude iron is separated from the main stream; the main stream is shredded
4. Several separating techniques separate aluminium, cupper, messing, steel and cable. These metals are shipped to smelters, who convert them into raw materials
5. After a last cleaning step a plastic mix remains, which – after further processing - will be used as raw material for the production of new plastics.

Treatment locations of WEEE have to answer to strict European and Dutch regulations on environment and quality. Recydur possesses all relevant licenses and provisions. The facility is among others equipped with a water treatment installation and an automatic fire extinguishing installation.
