What is PD CLC/TS 50625-4 - Collection and logistics associated with WEEE about?
PD CLC/TS 50625-4 is the fourth part of an International Standard on Collection, logistics & treatment requirements for WEEE. PD CLC/TS 50625-4 specifies the technical requirements and collection and logistic operators for storing, transporting and collecting these WEE.
PD CLC/TS 50625-4 applies to the following processes:
- Collection, handling, sorting, storage, preparation for transport and transport of WEEE
- All WEEE prior to arriving at the treatment facility or arriving at preparing for re-use facility
This Technical Specification standard addresses all operators that perform collection and logistics processes. PD CLC/TS 50625-4 does not cover the treatment of WEEE. In the case of treatment activities undertaken at collection or logistics facilities, then EN 50625-series applies.
Note 1: Treatment activities include any form of dismantling, including the removal of cabling, components, such as circuit boards, compressors or parts of the equipment (e.g., doors). Sorting is not considered a treatment activity as long as no physical alterations to the WEEE take place.
Who is PD CLC/TS 50625-4 - Collection and logistics associated with WEEE for?
PD CLC/TS 50625-4 on Collection, logistics & treatment requirements for WEEE is useful for:
- Recycling unit of electronic equipment
- Recycling of automotive parts
- Manufacturers of temperature exchange equipment
Why should you use PD CLC/TS 50625-4 - Collection and logistics associated with WEEE?
Waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is used for recycling electronic waste. WEEE helps in reducing pollution which is generated from outdated and waste electronic equipment.
PD CLC/TS 50625-4 specifies the technical requirement, collection and logistic operator which is useful in understanding the handling, transporting and storing of WEEE.
By using PD CLC/TS 50625-4 best practice guidance, you can separate WEE from other wastes. This helps in adopting safe practices to reduce pollution. With the help of PD CLC/TS 50625-4, you can set up a documented process to identify and separate WEEE items, which are potentially suitable for reuse.
By adopting PD CLC/TS 50625-4, you can avoid emissions of pollutants while handling and storing WEEE. This ensures safety of your environment.
