Appliance Recycling for a Resource-Efficient Society
FEATURED ARTICLES Work on Resource Recycling in Hitachi Appliance Recycling for a Resource-eff icient Society Creating a Hitachi Groupwide Plastic Recycling Scheme Plastics have been used for many years in household appliances and many other Hitachi Group products for benefits such as their low weight and lack of rust and corrosion. But these benefits turn into drawbacks when it comes to disposal, and waste plastic is linked to worldwide environmental problems such as soil and ocean pollution, and global warming caused by CO2 emitted when burned. To help solve environmental problems while drawing on the benefits of plastic, Hitachi is working on creating a scheme for recycling the plastics used throughout the group, centered on home appliances. This article provides a detailed look at the scheme, presenting the issues to be tackled in the years ahead.

BPU Announces Appliance Recycling Program Expansion in Honor of Earth Day
IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: April 19, 2018 Peter Peretzman (609) 984-9707 BPU Announces Appliance Recycling Program Expansion in Honor of Earth Day Program Saves Energy and Helps the Environment The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities announced today that its Clean Energy Program™ has expanded the list of eligible appliances under the Appliance Recycling Program. In addition to providing incentives for recycling refrigerators and freezers, New Jersey residents may now recycle room air conditioners and dehumidifiers. Under the program, customers had been permitted to recycle their refrigerator and/or freezer for free in exchange for a $50.00 rebate. Now, consumers will receive an additional $25.00 rebate on each room air conditioner and dehumidifier recycled during the same appointment. Customers are allowed to recycle up to two refrigerators and/or freezers, two room air conditioners and two dehumidifiers per calendar year. To date New Jersey residents have recycled over 65,000 units, which saved approximately 65,000 megawatt hours of electricity. This is enough to power 4,550 homes for an entire year. Since the program expanded to include air conditioners and dehumidifiers nearly 20% of customers recycling refrigerators or freezers are also recycling a second appliance. The program has achieved an additional 70,000 kilowatt hours in energy savings through the addition of the smaller appliances. “The BPU’s appliance recycling incentive program aligns with Governor Murphy’s aggressive agenda to expand clean, renewable energy programs,” said NJBPU President Joseph L. Fiordaliso. “I’m so pleased to announce the expansion of this pro-environment program as we head into earth day weekend.” The energy savings that can be achieved through recycling older appliances and purchasing new ones is significant.

E-Waste Management in Japan: a Focus on Appliance Recycling

As 10 years have passed since the Japanese home electrical appliance recycling system came into operation, the results of the system have become clearer, and it is therefore time for us to analyze and evaluate its performance in terms of both the environment and the economy. The system covers 4 specified house appliances, and although roughly 2/3 of these discarded appliances are collected and recycled formally by the manufactures, the greater part of the remaining 1/3 is exported as used items or scrap. Consequently, the government has issued guidelines for the reuse and recycling as countermeasures against illegal dumping and to regulate the export of e-scrap. Introduction Japan initiated the home electrical appliance recycling system in 2001 to provide for the proper disposal of e-waste and the more effective use of resources.

Electric Current
Electrical Power & Energy Chapter 7-3 Electrical Power • Power is the rate at which work is done • Electrical energy is easily converted into other forms of energy –Mechanical-Fans blades –Thermal-Hair dryer Electrical Power • Electrical Power is the rate at which electrical energy is converted into other forms of energy P (V )(I) • Power = current x voltage • Unit is watts (W) or kilowatts (kW) P V I Practice • A toaster oven is plugged into an outlet that provides a voltage difference of 120 volts. What power does the oven use if the current is 10 amps? V = 120 volts I = 10 amps P = (V)(I) P = (120)(10) P = 1200 watts or 1.2kW Practice • A VCR that is not playing still uses 10 W of power. What is the current if the VCR is plugged into a 120-V electrical outlet? V = 120 volts P = 10 watts I = P V I= 10/120 I = 0.83 amps Practice • A flashlight bulb uses 2.4 W of power when the current in the bulb is 0.8 A. What is the voltage difference? P = 2.4 watts I = 0.8 amps V = P I V = 2.4/0.8 V = 3 volts Electrical Energy • The amount of electrical energy used depends on the power required by the appliance and the length of time the appliance is used. Electrical Energy • Energy = power x time • E = Pt • Unit for Electrical Energy is kilowatt per hour (kWh) E P t Practice • A refrigerator operates on average for 10 hours a day. If the power rating of the refrigerator is 700 W, how much electrical energy does the refrigerator use in one day? t = 10 hours P = 700 watts Convert to kw P = 0.7 kW E = Pt E = (0.7)(10) E = 7 kilowatts per hour = 7 kWh Practice • A TV with a power rating of 200 W uses 0.8 kWh in one day.

Changes to the Appliance Recycling Program
Fact Sheet, December 2007 AB 1447 (2007) Changes to the Appliance Recycling Program Introduction In 2004, AB 2277 established new certification requirements for those who recycle discarded major appliances. Beginning in 2006 those who remove Materials that Require Special Handling (MRSH) from discarded major appliances must become certified by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) by demonstrating the ability to properly remove and manage MRSH in accordance with all applicable hazardous waste control laws. In 2007, AB 1447 (Calderon) made changes to the existing Certified Appliance Recycling (CAR) program to promote proper recycling of abandoned appliances and to clarify the criteria for recyclers to demonstrate their ability to properly remove and manage MRSH from discarded major appliances. This fact sheet explains the CAR program and the recent changes to the law and its requirements. The specific statutory requirements established by Assembly Bill 2277 (2004) and Assembly Bill 1447 (2007), can be found in the Public Resources Code (PRC), chapter 3.5, section 42160 et seq. and in the California Health and Safety Code (HSC), chapter 6.5, section 25211 et seq. What is a Certified Appliance Recycler? A Certified Appliance Recycler (CAR) is a person or business certified by DTSC to remove and properly manage certain potentially hazardous materials – known as “materials that require special handling” – from discarded major appliances. Those who handle, store, or transport discarded major appliances but do not process or recycle them do not need to be certified by DTSC. What Changes did AB1447 Make? As of January 1, 2008: • Refrigerant service technicians who are certified under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act may remove refrigerants from discarded major appliances without becoming certified by DTSC to recycle appliances.
