About Us
Working Together to Make Recycling Strong!
In 1981, four New Hampshire municipalities founded the Northeast Resource Recovery Association, then called the New Hampshire Resource Recovery Association, to provide a clearinghouse for current, up-to-date information and a source of technical and marketing assistance in the general areas of waste reduction and recycling.

MOM and NRRA Workshops
Working Together to Make Recycling Strong!
MOM - Members/Operations/Marketing meetings are held monthly. In addition. NRRA
conducts workshops and facility tours several times a year that can be used for
continuing education credits toward transfer facility operator certifications and renewals.

What are Electronics? Computers, televisions, monitors,
printers & peripherals Cell phones, iPods, tablets & e-readers
• Including CRTs
![Page 7: Nh electronics workshop #1 final 3.27.2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58ef31b81a28ab521f8b468f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why the Disposal Ban Disposal capacity Hazardous constituents, such as
lead CRTs contain 4 - 8 pounds lead
each

Electronics Recycling in the Region Most New England states have
manufacturer take-back laws for consumer electronics• What is included & how they work varies by
state
All New England states have disposal bans• What is included & how they work varies by

Different Types of Recyclers
Asset recovery Reuse/Repair/
Remanufacture Demanufacturing Shredding Broker
![Page 10: Nh electronics workshop #1 final 3.27.2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58ef31b81a28ab521f8b468f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Asset Recovery
Manages surplus property from government & large companies
May remanufacture, demanufacture, &/or sell units “as is”, or resell components & parts
![Page 11: Nh electronics workshop #1 final 3.27.2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58ef31b81a28ab521f8b468f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Reuse/Repair/Remanufacture Reuse: Donates or sells whole unit
electronics or parts for use for original purpose
Repair: Repairs electronics for direct resale to consumers
Remanufacture: Builds whole unit electronics from components or rebuilds electronics for resale to consumers, retailers or brokers
![Page 12: Nh electronics workshop #1 final 3.27.2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58ef31b81a28ab521f8b468f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Demanufacture Takes electronics apart
Resale of components & commodities Preparation for shredding
May sell workable devices “as is” to brokers, retailers, public
Nominal repair/remanufacture for resale
![Page 13: Nh electronics workshop #1 final 3.27.2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58ef31b81a28ab521f8b468f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Shredding Puts whole unit electronics or parts
through a shredder
Shredder breaks up into smaller pieces
Material separated & sold as commodities for recycling
![Page 14: Nh electronics workshop #1 final 3.27.2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58ef31b81a28ab521f8b468f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Broker
Buys & sells Whole unit electronics Processed materials, such as
circuit boards
Can include specialization in reselling specialized or ‘exotic’ equipment
Often, material goes overseas
![Page 15: Nh electronics workshop #1 final 3.27.2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58ef31b81a28ab521f8b468f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
So, Electronics Should be Recycled – but by who?
Answer: Certified electronic recyclers
![Page 16: Nh electronics workshop #1 final 3.27.2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58ef31b81a28ab521f8b468f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What is a Certified Electronics Recycler?
Recycler that has had an assessment done by an independent, 3rd party organization that is qualified & licensed to issue certifications to a specific standard.
Either R2 or e-Stewards
![Page 17: Nh electronics workshop #1 final 3.27.2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58ef31b81a28ab521f8b468f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What does that mean?A certified electronics recycler is a facility that has received a 3rd party audit that verified that it meets the requirements of either the R2 or e-Stewards Standard.
![Page 18: Nh electronics workshop #1 final 3.27.2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58ef31b81a28ab521f8b468f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Electronics Recycler Standards Address
Worker health & safety Employee training, personal
protective gear Regulatory & permitting compliance
Local, national & international Data security Hazardous waste management Insurance, Facility Closure Plans, &
Financial Assurances
![Page 19: Nh electronics workshop #1 final 3.27.2016](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58ef31b81a28ab521f8b468f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Why It Is Important To Use A Certified Electronics Recycler
Only way to ensure not “self-certifying” or making unsubstantiated claims No federal laws or requirements specific to
electronics recyclers Known set of performance standards that
recycler is meeting Ensure that practices meet your expectations Auditing of recyclers by independent, 3rd party
organizations that are qualified & accredited to issue certification to specific standard
Financial assurances, insurance & closure plans

Summary:
1. Capacity is diminishing for Certified Processors/Recyclers
2. Costs will increase.
3. OEM’s will help but are cost sensitive.
4. Sponsor Box has Potential to address both issues. Capacity and Cost Increases.
