Recycling And Reuse Of Discarded Lighting Electrical Ready Boards
As an important terminal of the electrical system, if the lighting electrical ready board is not properly handled after retirement, its metal casing, circuit board, and residual wires may release heavy metals or harmful substances. The standardized recycling process should be divided into three steps:
Professional disassembly: The qualified enterprise separates the box body, copper aluminum wires, electronic components, and battery components. After crushing and sorting, the metal parts can directly enter the smelting process; The circuit board needs to extract precious metals such as gold and silver, and the remaining resin powder can be made into recycled plastic particles.
Creative transformation: After rust prevention treatment, the box structure can be transformed into tool storage cabinets, vintage industrial style furniture, and even artistic installations. A certain environmental protection studio once transformed an abandoned electrical ready board into an "urban honeycomb" interactive device, embedded with LED light groups to simulate bee ecology, and became a public art exhibit.
Energy cycle: Some old enclosures contain hazardous substances such as transformer oil, which need to be converted into biofuels through pyrolysis technology. Japanese companies have developed the "electrical ready board Energy Capsule" system, which compresses metal debris generated from dismantling into solid fuel for cement clinker production, achieving energy closed-loop.
The data shows that each ton of waste electrical ready board can recover about 80 kg of copper and 50 kg of aluminum, which is equivalent to reducing the mining output of ore by 1.2 tons. With the development of IoT technology, the new intelligent electrical ready board adopts modular design, and 95% of the materials can be quickly separated and recycled, allowing the "power guardian" to continue its green value at the end of its life.
