Task 2: activities and outcome Subtask 2.2: Implementation of the inventory:Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment:
From the results obtained, it was concluded that the quantities of waste of PCs, microwave ovens, washing machines and TVs present increasing rate while the quantities of refrigerators remain quite constant.
In addition, the quantities generated annually per type of waste and per habitant were calculated as well as the total annual quantities of the WEEE per habitant. The total quantities of waste of the five types of EEE under examination were estimated to be 5.67 Kg/habitant, for the year 2008, when Cyprus must achieve the quantitative target of recovery of 4 Kg WEEE per habitant. The results show that the country could reach this target, focusing on the recovery of the five types of WEEE examined through the project, since these types of WEEE are bulky and can be managed more easily than other types of WEEE.
34
Task 2: activities and outcome Subtask 2.3: Development of an
appropriate database: An appropriate database was
designed and developed for the WEEE waste stream
