Through the project Global Green Chemistry Innovation and Network Programme (GGCIN), the company E-Reciklaža 2010 from Niš (Serbia) has established a strategic and long-term partnership with the University of Belgrade and Yale University in the field of sustainable and safe recycling of electronic waste.
This project is of exceptional importance for environmental protection, focused on applying state-of-the-art solutions for identification and separation of brominated plastics, which pose a serious risk if, after recycling, they re-enter new products. The scientific and research expertise of the two universities and the practical experience of E-Reciklaža 2010 have demonstrated how successful cooperation between academia and industry can deliver measurable and long-term environmental benefits.
Within the framework of the project, E-Reciklaža 2010 will install advanced STEINERT equipment, which integrates optical sensors for color and three-dimensional shape, inductive sensors for metal detection, and XRT (X-Ray Transmission) technology. The technology enables highly efficient separation and sets new standards in the safe processing of WEEE.
The project in Serbia is implemented by the Serbian Cleaner Production Centre of the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy in Belgrade and is supported by the GEF (Global Environment Facility) through UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization). By joint efforts and cooperation, the implementation of the project is enabled and its positioning as an example of good practice at the international level is ensured.
This project represents a significant step forward for E-Reciklaža 2010, as well as clear evidence that innovation, knowledge, and international cooperation can bring tangible and lasting benefits to the environment.
