Considering the End-of-Life pc sold in Italy in
2014, we can assess a potential market of End of Life
domestic PCBs at about 19 milion of euros. This
evaluation takes into account only domestic PCs,
containing PCBs that have on average higher content
of added value metals if compared to other small
household appliances and lower content if compared
professional computers. Overall, it can be concluded
that integrated approach, based on the holistic view
of all elements contained in an End of Life complex
product, supports economic feasibility of process
recovery.
Unfortunately not all the hi-tech products on
the market become recoverable waste, since about
75% of end-of-life Hi tech products are not currently
collected in legal and traceable way (Ecodom, 2013).
However, this work could support business plan
building in this field and policy makers awareness
about economic opportunity in waste management
field.
4. Conclusions
The increasing diffusion of Hi-tech complex
products has raised the attention of scientific
community towards their End of Life treatment, both
in terms of assuring an appropriate disposal, to avoid
the dispersion of harmful substances, and with the
aim of their exploitation as valuable sources of raw
