The Circular Plastics Alliance initiative aims to boost the uptake of recycled plastics (as regranulates) up to 10 million ton by 2025. Consequently, the demand for regranulates in Belgium and the Netherlands is expected to increase as electronic producers begin to pledge to use 25 % regranulates in their products by 2025 or 2030. Therefore, this research aims to gain insights into the potential of regranulates to be used in vacuum cleaners, coffee machines, and electric shavers, which are products with a fair amount of plastics concentration in the small household appliances (SHA) category of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). A model is developed to forecast the amount of waste electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE) generated in 2030 in Belgium and the Netherlands using multivariate input-output analysis. The amount of regranulates released by the current formal WEEE management systems of SHA waste is quantified using material flow analysis, which equal to 22 %. This research indicates the need of improved collection rate and pre-processing efficiency (dismantling, shredding, and sorting) to at least 64 % to achieve the target of using recycled content in EEE. Moreover, up to 5 % of WEEE may still contain hazardous substances like brominated flame retardants by 2030. Lastly, through scenario analysis, we predict that the target to use recycled content in vacuum cleaners can be realized by 2027 or by 2023 in the base and positive scenario respectively, regardless of the changes in material composition as long as the collection and pre-processing technologies are continuously improved.

当前和未来废弃电器电子设备塑料回收率的多元投入产出和物流分析:以小家电为例

循环塑料联盟倡议旨在到 2025 年将再生塑料(作为再颗粒)的吸收量提高至 1000 万吨。因此,随着电子生产商开始承诺使用 25%,比利时和荷兰对再颗粒的需求预计将增加到 2025 年或 2030 年在他们的产品中再造粒。因此,本研究旨在深入了解再造粒在真空吸尘器、咖啡机和电动剃须刀中使用的潜力,这些产品在小家庭中塑料含量相当电器 (SHA) 类别的电气和电子设备 (EEE)。开发了一个模型来预测 2030 年比利时和荷兰产生的废弃电子和电气设备 (WEEE) 的数量,使用多变量投入产出分析。当前正式的 WEEE SHA 废物管理系统释放的再颗粒物数量使用材料流分析进行量化,相当于 22%。该研究表明,需要将收集率和预处理效率(拆解、粉碎和分类)提高到至少 64%,以实现在 EEE 中使用回收成分的目标。此外,到 2030 年,高达 5% 的 WEEE 可能仍含有溴化阻燃剂等有害物质。 最后,通过情景分析,我们预测到 2027 年或 2023 年,在基础和无论材料成分如何变化,只要收集和预处理技术不断改进。
