EWW Conference Agenda

Flat Panel Displays (FPDs) are among the fastest growing and most complex e-waste streams, containing valuable materials but also hazardous substances. My presentation compares three practical recycling approaches: (1) manual dismantling, (2) automated systems, and (3) mechanical shredding. From hands-on experience at UAB Elektronikos Perdirbimas, I will show why manual dismantling remains the most adaptable and environmentally sound method for FPD processing. The session will also address BFR management, worker safety, and the quality of recovered materials.
