Résumé

This work has as main objective the analysis of waste from electric and electronic equipment (WEEE or e-waste) management through material flow analysis and life cycle assessment of a full-scale Italian facility that is significant about the e-waste flows treated (9900 t/y) and representative of a developed EU country about the industrial process outline, based on manual dismantling phases and physic-mechanical automatic processes. Three WEEE categories (i.e. R1-Cooling equipment, R2-Large household appliances and R3- TVs and screens) have been chosen with the reason that they are the most abundant in EU. The methodology was based on two end-of-life scenarios: S
