The sectors and channels for treating Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) have changed considerably in recent years due to the regulatory context and to the development of new technologies. In…

Anaerobic digestion or “methanisation” is the use of microorganisms to break down organic matter under controlled conditions and in the absence of oxygen. In general, the process pursues two recycling-for-energy goals: one by recovering methane…

The fluorescent lamp recycling sector is growing considerably in Europe due to increasingly strict regulations aimed at inciting the consumption of low energy light bulbs and their end-of-life management. Chemical risks were assessed in…

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) or e-waste recycling sector has grown considerably in the last fifteen years due to the ever shorter life cycles of consumables and an increasingly restrictive policy context. Cathode Ray…

Outline of reasons and objectives
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are among the most common pollutants. Industrial production and use of motor cars has led to an increased supply of these organic chemical substances in the atmosphere. Benzene…

This scientific and technical note is a report on existing knowledge concerning the management of waste to characterize the potential chemical risks of this industry. This reflexion was carried out following the implementation of the law…

The selection of chemical protective materials is a major problem due to the number of chemicals used in industrial operations that is growing day to day and the variety of polymers used in the protective clothing.
The predictive software ProtecPo…

Outline of reasons and objectives
Initially entitled “reducing the risks induced by shredding”, this study proposed to address that operation through three focuses: developing a ventilation solution suitable for channelling the flows of dust…
