WEEE recovery

WEEE recovery

Spectra-media d.o.o. has been treating (recovery/recycling) WEEE continuously since 2007. Currently, in the Republic of Croatia, we treat waste at 3 locations:

 

1. PRIMARY WEEE TREATMENT PLANT IN VIROVITICA (Hall 1)

All WEEE ends up in the facility for primary treatment of WEEE in Virovitica. In this plant, all delivered WEEE is manually sorted according to types and categories and hazardous components are manually separated, after which the waste is sent to primary shredding and separation of waste iron fractions.

Small household appliances and part of the IT equipment are sent for processing to the non-hazardous waste processing plant Virovitica Hall 2 (Ote Horvata 3A).

The waste iron fraction and individual separated components are sold on the Croatian or EU market, while the mixture of metal and organic fractions and separated toner cartridges are sent for secondary processing to the plant in Donja Bistra.

 

2. SECONDARY WEEE TREATMENT PLANT IN DONJA BISTRA

Pogon Donja Bistra

Mixed materials obtained in the Virovitica Hall 1 facility and separated printer toners are sent to the secondary processing facility in Donja Bistra. The Donja Bistra plant is equipped with technological lines for the separation of different mixtures of materials (eddy current separation, optical separation, air current separation, sieves for sieving materials) with its final products being high-purity metal and plastic fractions.

 

3. TREATMENT PLANT VIROVITICA (Hall 2)
