The 2015 edition of Electronics Recycling Asia, an electronics recycling conference held each year in the Asia-Pacific region, will take place Nov. 10-13, 2015 at the Shangri-La Hotel Singapore. It is the third consecutive year the event has been held at the same venue.
Conference organizer ICM AG says the 2015 conference will “again explore the considerable challenges and bountiful opportunities” in the electronics recycling sector.
“The world’s reliance on electronic products and digital information continues to feed into the corresponding challenge of how best to recycle the electric- and battery-powered devices that touch all aspects of daily life,” says ICM.
As in prior events, the 2015 conference will feature speakers from Asia and around the world. According to ICM, speakers will address a wide spectrum of topics pertaining to how to safely and profitably recycle end-of-life computers, office equipment, consumer electronics, cell phones and other devices.
Topics scheduled to be part of the program include:
- manufacturer take-back schemes and recycling efforts;
- government initiatives such as the Circular Economy policy in China;
- processing technology advances and trends;
- precious metals recovery;
- battery recycling; and
- environmental and safety compliance.
Again in 2015, ICM AG will be organizing optional recycling plant tours and will offer access to an exhibit area that features technology and service providers. The conference also is offering additional workshops before and after the main event.
“Electronics Recycling Asia is the best conference for understanding the present policies and different recycling schemes for WEEE used in the EU, North America and Asian countries,” says Hsiao Kang Ma, a professor at the National Taiwan University and a past speaker at Electronics Recycling Asia.
Some 300 recyclers, OEM delegates and government policy makers are expected to attend the Electronics Recycling Asia 2015 conference. Last year’s event attracted attendees from more than 30 nations, including China, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore the United States and nations throughout Europe.
