Which types of electronic equipment are the most difficult to recycle?

John Shegerian (CEO, Electronic Waste Recyclers) gives expert video advice on: What factors should I consider when choosing an electronic waste facility?; What types of electronic equipment can be recycled?; Can I recycle my plasma screen? and more...

All types of electronic waste in equipment is recyclable. But you have different subsets. Refrigerators and freezers and microwave ovens should be done in a separate section form your Televisions and your computers. So it is important that you create methodologies that fit the different types of electronic waste. You can not just be throwing a refrigerator on a de-manufacturing line with a computer and expect to come up with the right results. So it is important for the recyclers to subset out their different types of products and de-manufacture everything in their own subset. That is what makes for great recycling processes.
