GLOBAL RECYCLING: The willingness of households to sort electronic waste is growing
Gone are the days when people threw out old electrical appliances into municipal waste containers or, in the worst case, into the wild at black dumps. More and more people realize that the way we live can be largely influenced by ourselves. For example, by starting to sort household waste even more consistently.
Ochota občanů aktivně se podílet na recyklaci elektroodpadu roste. Ekologické smýšlení a ochota třídit elektroodpad je znát i na celkovém objemu sebraných a recyklovaných elektrozařízení. V roce 2022 se v České republice prostřednictvím kolektivního systému EKOLAMP podařilo sebrat 4586 tun světelných zdrojů, velkého a malého elektra.
Ze sebraných elektrozařízení se po recyklaci k dalšímu využití předá kolem 90 % materiálů. Získané kovy, plasty či sklo pak slouží k další výrobě, případně jako technický materiál. Díky pečlivému sběru se navíc zabrání znečištění přírody, ke kterému by mohlo dojít, pokud by se škodlivé látky z nerecyklovaných zařízení dostaly do půdy nebo vody.

Zpětný odběr světelných zdrojů a dalších elektrozařízení zajišťuje neziskový kolektivní systém EKOLAMP. Ten se zaměřuje na zpětný odběr světelných zdrojů (lineární i kompaktní zářivky, výbojky, halogenové, wolframové i LED žárovky) a velkých i malých elektrozařízení (domácí spotřebiče, spotřební elektronika, zařízení reprodukující zvuk či obraz, elektrické a elektronické nástroje, hračky či vybavení pro volný čas a sport). Nově zajišťuje i sběr malých zařízení IT a telekomunikačních zařízení.
