Abstract niet beschikbaar
This report provides information on the amount, the composition and the destination of discarded electr(on)ic (household) appliances (in Dutch known as 'wit- en bruingoed'). Electr(on)ic household appliances are divided in 3 main streams, namely: * white goods (dishwasher, washing machine, etc.) * other household appliances (vacuum cleaner, iron, etc.). * brown goods (audio, video and communication equipment). About 95 percent of the discarded electric (household) appliances originate from households, the remaining 5 percent from companies. Based on the penetrationgrade, the average weight and the average life span of specific appliances, an estimation of the discarded amount by households is made for the present (1992) as well as the future (about 2005). The total amount discarded by households between 1992 and approximately 2005 will grow from approximately 117 to 185 kiloton per year.
