Abu Dhabi - 17th to 21st January 2011
RVE, (Réunion Valorisation Environnement Sarl), is dedicated to recycle electronic and electrical wastes and cables in particular. Based on Réunion Island, RVE has been well-known for years for collecting and recycling Wastes from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and electric cables and comply with European regulations regarding the elimination of WEEE. RVE offers a complete solution for treating this type of material coming at the end of their lifecycle. RVE will be attending the World Future Environment Exhibition in Dubaï to exhibit its solutions.
RVE (Réunion Valorisation Environnement «Réunion Environmental Recycling») is dedicated to collect and recycle UEEE (Unwanted Electrical and Electronic Equipment). The process includes everything from collecting it from the clients' premises to the final recycling. The collected devices are those functionning thanks to electric current or magnetic field such as : household electrical appliances, computing and office devices, mobile phones, screens (computer screen & TV), and large household electrical appliances like washing machine or microwave. Even large household electrical appliances using coolants and/or foam such as fridges, freezers, or air conditionning devices can be collected and recycled by RVE. The company also deals with electrical cables of all size, and ink cardridges and toners.
There are 5 steps in the process. First of all, RVE comes to get the waste upon the customer's request. Then, after the analysis of the waste, RVE is able to tell how much it is worth. Adapting to the customer's constraints, RVE removes the waste and labels it. At the end, treatment, recycling and revalorisation allows to get the most of the wastes. Labelling is the first step in the tracking system, and a Waste Tracking Document emitted by RVE informs about what happen to the wastes until final valorization. The electric and electronic devices are dismantled piece by piece separating the various materials. Then, they are compacted to decrease the volume, and valued via the various local sectors (networks), in which 85 % of waste reception centers are members. The most dangerous materials (subjects) (batteries, piles, refrigerators and the other freezers) are sent in mainland France.
«It is necessary that the private individuals participate in this process and give evidence their electric and electronic waste directly in waste reception centers. RVE offers a complete traceability of the collection (BSD) until the valuation of the non-hazardous waste (plastics (plastic arts), clatter), sent in India or in Asia."
RVE takes charge of the UEEE in a spirit of partnership, guaranteeing a commitment to reliability, respect of the standards in force and traceability. The company complies with French and European policies regarding the elimination of UEEE. Each item is identified by the company's technicians and dismantled manually. Furthermore, the activity of collecting and recycling UEEE requires an unqualified workforce, which means that the company can offer job opportunities to young people in difficulty. It is a real springboard for young people with no experience. Indeed RVE makes a commitment to bring its contribution in the island development by offering job opportunities to people in insertion trouble, disabled persons, or students .Which represents today more than 50 % of the whole staff of the company.
