Summary

Italy is the European country that recycles the most waste, according to the European Commission's Report on economic, social, and territorial cohesion. The Report was published in December 2021. Italy recycles 79% of the waste it collects, slightly above Belgium, which reaches 77%. Our flue gas treatment system is used by one of Italy's major waste-to-energy facilities. Because of rigorous regulations in Europe, the bulk of our rubbish is disposed of at waste-to-energy (WtE) plants, where it is burnt to make electricity rather than ending up in landfills. Italy is one of the top five nations in the electronic waste management business, along with the United Kingdom, Germany, China, and France.

According to the research report “Italy E-Waste Management Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the market is expected to add USD 0.78 Billion in the upcoming period, 2023–2028. According to the source type, the market consists of Household Appliances such as air conditioners, dishwashers, and induction cookers, among others. Mobile devices, wearables, TVs, set-top boxes, monitors, laptops, tablets, computers, printers, scanners, and so on are all examples of consumer electronics. IT & Telecom Equipment, IT Accessories, PCBs, Digital Boards, Datacenters, Medical Equipment and Accessories are all examples of Industrial Electronics.

Domestic sectors dominate the market since electronic gadgets are required for practically all household duties such as cleaning and cooking. Depending on the substance, such as metal, plastic, glass, and others. Metal material is highly created from e-waste in the Italy because e-waste contains various valuable, recoverable materials such as aluminium, ferrous metals, copper, gold, and silver. Electronic equipment should be refurbished, reused, and recycled wherever possible to conserve natural resources and the energy necessary to produce new electronic equipment from virgin components. There are two types of applications: trashed and recycled. Recycling e-waste has a wide range of applications. Keep such devices out of landfills, for example, to protect both human and environmental health. E-waste recycling has a wide range of uses. Keep such devices out of landfills, for example, to protect human and environmental health. Or removing important components from devices and providing manufacturers with recycled metals that may be used to build new products.

The biggest Italian consumer association - and ECODOM - undertook an inquiry a few months ago to determine where the WEEE leaving Italian households ends up. The investigation is without a doubt the most important conducted in the country thus far, both in terms of the number of WEEE equipped with GPS tracking devices and the geographical coverage of the sample: it involves more than 200 appliances - including washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, dryers, and freezers - that should reach a proper treatment plant after being given to the public collection centre or distributors by citizens.

According to a series of European studies performed earlier this year by members of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Forum, mobile phones rank fourth among small EEE goods most commonly hoarded by consumers. According to the studies, the typical home in Portugal, the Netherlands, Italy, Romania, and Slovenia, as well as a separate UK survey, has 74 e-products such as phones, tablets, computers, electric tools, hair dryers, toasters, and other appliances. Thirteen of them are being hoarded, nine are unused but functional, and four are broken. LED bulbs are at the top of the list of things that are most likely to be discarded. Italy leads the pack in terms of hoarded small kitchen and home equipment, computers, and tablets in households, with 29%.

Some of the E-Waste management companies in Italy are Guidetti Recycling Systems, Eldan Recycling A/S, Ruf Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG, Forrec srl, 5PM Srl, MG Recycling srl, ITS - Shredding & Grinding Solutions, Sortech S.r.l.s., WRS Italia Srl, Tires s.p.a., STOKKERMILL RECYCLING MACHINERY | Seltek Srl, and PCB and WEEE e-scrap recycling.
