Study Overview

In the quest for a sustainable, more environmentally-friendly society, the recycling of household appliances is becoming increasingly important. Household WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) is what we call an "urban mine"urban minemine". The latter corresponds to the deposit resulting from household consumption, which is destined for the recovery of secondary raw materials. The recycling of household appliances covers theentire value chain, from collection to depollution, and ends with the recovery of all equipment at the end of its life. Despite the diversity of appliances on the market, we can structure our study as follows:

cold GEM(large household appliances): refrigerators, freezers, often difficult to depollute of greenhouse gases non-cold GEM: washing machines, ovens, dishwashers, where ferrous metals are difficult to recover. small household appliances: hairdryers, vacuum cleaners, tools, toys, where the major challenge lies in capturing and sorting plastics.

These categories concentrate the greatest volumes and technical challenges. Indeed, on a global scale, e-waste production has exploded to reach 62 million tonnes by 2022, according to Le Monde, an increase of 82% since 2010. Recycling is therefore a major challenge for our century. In France, this market is driven by EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility), the aim of which is that any company that places products on the market is responsible for their environmental impact throughout their life cycle, from design to end-of-life. The sector is organized around two pillars:

Eco-organizations (such as Ecosystem) and treatment manufacturers.

Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) players focused on reuse.

Generally speaking, the market must rise to the challenge of recovering critical metals while integrating innovations such as AI to optimize industrial sorting.
