Therefore, this study is commissioned to suggest
the direction of recycling and assist to make a positive
decision in using components derived from WEEE
through analysis of major hazardous materials. The
different plastic used in WEEE and their contents of
hazardous substances regulated by the RoHS Directive
were identified by means of laboratory scale research.
