Technological elements. In general, there are four methods to recycle and recovery WEEE: - Manual dismantling and separation of the device's components - Mechanical recycling: removal and crushing of materials - Incineration and refining, to recover metals - Chemical recycling, of precious metals (gold, silver…) from printed circuit boards. Current recycling technologies differ depending on the type of device and its main components. In the WEEE end-of-life treatment several material streams can be obtain: - Metals: the first separation established is between ferrous (iron, steel) and non-ferrous (aluminium, copper, precious metals) metals. Ferrous metal separation through magnetization is simple. Metals can be recovered through crushing, incineration or cooling. Some chemical processes allow precious metals, such as gold or silver, to be separated from the printed circuit boards. - Glass: identification and separation of products with glass elements is complicated because these materials contain heavy metals, particularly television sets and monitors. The cathode ray tube is divided into glass from the screen (composed of barium and strontium) and conical glass from the funnel (with high lead content). To separate and recycle this glass, mechanical and thermal methods are used in conjunction with chemical methods to recover metal dust. - Plastics: the difficulty encountered when recycling plastic is correctly classifying the various polymers. Most of the recyclers use manual separation, although they are starting to implement common polymers identification through automatic technologies. Other mechanical systems include classification through air, sink-float or electrostatic separation. The content of materials varies significantly according to the type of electrical and electronic devices. The table below list the percentages of several materials for some device categories.

Technological elements. Just 20 years ago a great deal of domestic and commercial wastes ended up untreated on the rubbish tip. First residents complained about the stench and pollutants such as dioxins were found in the groundwater and drinking water. The digester gas methane emitted from landfills causes 21 times more damage to the climate than carbon dioxide (CO2). Domestic waste landfills became contaminated sites which result in costs for rehabilitation and after-care amounting to billions.5 The alternatives to landfills are waste reduction and recycling strategies. Secondary to not creating waste, there are various alternatives to landfills. In the last 15-20 years, alternative methods of waste disposal to landfill and incineration (e.g. anaerobic digestion, composting and mechanical biological treatment) have gained acceptance and were established by regulation. Following recent findings from research and practical experience, the Landfill Ordinance added supplementary landfill classification criteria and emplacement rules that open the way for the mechanical-biological treatment of residual waste. As well as requiring that biogenic constituents be largely biodegraded, these involve separating off high calorific value constituents such as plastics, wood, paper and cardboard (40-50% average content). These high calorific value constituents are to be used for energy in high-efficiency power stations and industrial co- combustion plants, instead of being buried in landfills as they were in the past. Finally, landfills that did not comply with the Ordinance had to be closed by 2009 at the latest.

Technological elements. The installation of a selection, methanisation and composting plant is twice cheaper than an incineration plant with the same capacity. Likewise, the running cost is a 30 or 40% cheaper, concretely around 70 euros per ton. On the other hand, the combination of methanisation and final composting enables to get high quality compost for its use in agriculture in a minor period of time. 2.6.3.1. Technologies for separation

  • Infrastructure Infrastructure serves as the foundation and building blocks of an integrated IT solution. It is the hardware which supports Application Services (C.3.2) and IT Management Services (C.3.3); the software and services which enable that hardware to function; and the hardware, software, and services which allow for secure communication and interoperability between all business and application service components. Infrastructure services facilitate the development and maintenance of critical IT infrastructures required to support Federal government business operations. This section includes the technical framework components that make up integrated IT solutions. One or any combination of these components may be used to deliver IT solutions intended to perform a wide array of functions which allow agencies to deliver services to their customers (or users), whether internal or external, in an efficient and effective manner. Infrastructure includes hardware, software, licensing, technical support, and warranty services from third party sources, as well as technological refreshment and enhancements for that hardware and software. This section is aligned with the FEA/DoDEA Technical Reference Model (TRM) which describes these components using a vocabulary that is common throughout the entire Federal government. A detailed review of the TRM is provided in Section J, Attachment 5. Infrastructure includes complete life cycle support for all hardware, software, and services represented above, including planning, analysis, research and development, design, development, integration and testing, implementation, operations and maintenance, information assurance, and final disposition of these components. The services also include administration and help desk functions necessary to support the IT infrastructure (e.g., desktop support, network administration). Infrastructure components of an integrated IT solution can be categorized as follows:

  • Technology Access Contractor expressly acknowledges that state funds may not be expended in connection with the purchase of an automated information system unless that system meets certain statutory requirements relating to accessibility by persons with visual impairments. Accordingly, Contractor represents and warrants to System Agency that the technology provided to System Agency for purchase (if applicable under this Contract or any related Solicitation) is capable, either by virtue of features included within the technology or because it is readily adaptable by use with other technology, of: • providing equivalent access for effective use by both visual and non-visual means; • presenting information, including prompts used for interactive communications, in formats intended for non-visual use; and • being integrated into networks for obtaining, retrieving, and disseminating information used by individuals who are not blind or visually impaired. For purposes of this Section, the phrase “equivalent access” means a substantially similar ability to communicate with or make use of the technology, either directly by features incorporated within the technology or by other reasonable means such as assistive devices or services which would constitute reasonable accommodations under the Americans With Disabilities Act or similar state or federal laws. Examples of methods by which equivalent access may be provided include, but are not limited to, keyboard alternatives to mouse commands and other means of navigating graphical displays, and customizable display appearance. In accordance with Section 2157.005 of the Texas Government Code, the Technology Access Clause contract provision remains in effect for any contract entered into before September 1, 2006.

  • Functionality Customer is entitled to additional functionality previously purchased or bundled with the software if available in the version or update released on or after the start date of the Agreement. Customer acknowledges that certain functionality in current and previous software versions may not be available in future upgrades.
