At Recuperaciones Informáticas y Tecnológicas we work ecologically and day by day we expand our variety of waste to be recycled.
We also recognize that it is of vital importance to be up to date with regard to changes and new regulations that directly affect the management and documentation of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
The transposition of the Royal Decree 110/2015, of 20 of August, on waste electrical and electronic equipment, has led to significant changes in the management of this waste stream, que debido a los incesantes avances en las nuevas tecnologías adquieren cada vez más relevancia en nuestra vida cotidiana.
one waste, whose generation is very common, both at home, as in the commercial and industrial, are consumables derived from printing machines(toner cartridges), which in some cases are classified as waste electrical and electronic equipment WEEEs, as provided by MITECO, in his answer to the question 3.8 , of the document "Frequently Asked Questions about the Royal Decree 110/2015 , of 20 February on waste electrical and electronic equipment “.
For this reason, it is vitally important to learn to differentiate the different types of waste that can be generated., in order for them to be correctly segregated and managed.
Within the consumables that are usually called ink cartridges or printer toner, they must be differentiated:
- Printer consumables that are not considered WEEE: bottles or tanks used to refill with replace the ink, que NO have electronic parts.
is these cases, los cartucho son codificados con LER de las familia 0803 “formulation residues , distribution and use of printing inks”.
- Printer consumables considered WEEE, These are cartridges or toner that contain electronic parts and that, from the 15 august 2018, are considered waste electrical and electronic equipment.
Consumables that include electrical or electronic parts, deberán ser codificados de acuerdo con los LER-WEEE codes pertenecientes a las fractions 4 o 6 establecidas por el Real Decreto 110/2015, of 20 february.
Thus:
- Waste must be treated through recovery systems that allow the recovery of its components, its direct disposal by depositing it in a landfill is prohibited.. Cartridge producers must meet the collection and recovery objectives established by the RD 110/2015, of 20 of August.
The application of the Royal Decree 110/2015, of 20 of August, as well as the correct coding of printer consumables through the LER-RAEE codes, will result in managers of this type of waste, que hasta el momento se encontraban autorizados para el tratamiento de residuos con código LER pertenecientes a la familia LER 0803, must request the adaptation of their activity and, where appropriate, of the facilities to the requirements of the Royal Decree 110/2015, of 20 of August.
At Recuperaciones Informáticas y Tecnológica we have all the authorizations for the removal and correct management of this type of waste and we put our fleet of vehicles at your disposal for its removal., as well as our authorizations for its correct documentation.
