With the Circular Economy Act (CEA) set to take effect in the EU on August 1, 2025, WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) has become one of the most critical waste streams. Current recycling rates remain below 40%, while WEEE continues to grow by around 2% annually. Plastics in electrical and electronic equipment (E&E)—including housings, components, mixed plastics, and flame-retardant materials—are now under stricter scrutiny from regulators and industry players.
In this context, improving the quality and value of WEEE plastic recycling is a central challenge. Leveraging its advanced optical sorting and inspection technologies, AMD offers high-precision solutions for WEEE plastics, enabling efficient impurity removal, traceable material grading, and the production of high-purity recycled materials for downstream applications.
