Are printed circuit boards hazardous waste?

Printed circuit boards are hazardous waste. This requires it has to be disposed with a proper way.

Hazardous waste is the waste that poses a material or potential threat to public health or the environment. The main components of printed circuit board are substrate and electronic components, and the main materials are metal, oxide, organic matter, glass fiber, epoxy resin and other non-metallic. Brominates flame retardants, lead solder and a small amount of other precious metals are contained in printed circuit boards.

Printed circuit board is the main components and key disassembly products of discarded electrical and electronic products, also known as circuit board or printed circuit board. The hazardous waste directory of some countries clearly states that printed circuit boards are hazardous waste. And this kind of hazardous waste, should be classified and centralized storage, off-site treatment needs to be held by the hazardous waste business license and has the corresponding business scope of the unit for treatment.

Waste printed circuit boards

Printed circuit board contains a large number of common metals and precious metals, organic resin, glass fiber and other valuable resources, which has great economic benefits for its recovery.

In view of the treatment of printed circuit board and metal extraction, some experts put forward the suggestions of "disassembling material resource; innocuous treatment process; scientific selection of technology; scale development forms industry".

DOING company's printed circuit board recycling equipment is in line with the environmental requirements of the recovery of printed circuit board equipment, the equipment USES advanced dry physical recovery process for the recovery of printed circuit board, metal powder and non-metal powder. In the whole process of recycling and treatment will not cause any pollution to the environment, and the metal recovery rate and metal purity are relatively high.

Printed circuit boards recycling machine

It is of great significance to recycle printed circuit boards by using recycling equipment of printed circuit boards: it can realize harmless recovery, realize resource regeneration and reduce environmental pollution.
