Introduction<br />
A fur<strong>the</strong>r milestone<br />
in our partnership<br />
<strong>SWICO</strong> <strong>Recycling</strong>, <strong>SENS</strong> and <strong>SLRS</strong> (Swiss Lighting <strong>Recycling</strong><br />
Foundation), <strong>the</strong> three Swiss recycling systems in <strong>the</strong> field <strong>of</strong><br />
electrical and electronic equipment, as well as illuminants and<br />
lighting equipment are systematically expanding <strong>the</strong>ir tried<br />
and tested collaboration even fur<strong>the</strong>r. For some years already,<br />
<strong>SWICO</strong> <strong>Recycling</strong> and <strong>SENS</strong> have carried out <strong>the</strong> technical<br />
inspections <strong>of</strong> recycling operations toge<strong>the</strong>r. In 2008, cooperation<br />
was intensified with <strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong> a joint technical<br />
commission. This step heralded an extension <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> existing<br />
collaboration between <strong>SENS</strong> and <strong>SLRS</strong>. Then, as a contractual<br />
partner <strong>of</strong> <strong>SLRS</strong>, <strong>SENS</strong> has transformed collection, transport,<br />
recycling, inspections and reporting with its take-back and recycling<br />
system. A fur<strong>the</strong>r milestone in <strong>the</strong> collaboration between<br />
<strong>SWICO</strong> <strong>Recycling</strong>, <strong>SENS</strong> and <strong>SLRS</strong> followed in June 2009,<br />
when <strong>the</strong> technical processing regulations were combined and<br />
harmonised. The Federal Office for <strong>the</strong> Environment regards<br />
<strong>the</strong>se technical processing regulations as <strong>the</strong> state-<strong>of</strong>-<strong>the</strong>-art<br />
for processing technology in respect <strong>of</strong> electrical and electronic<br />
equipment as well as illuminants and lighting equipment.<br />
4 <strong>Report</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Inspectorate</strong> <strong>SENS</strong>, <strong>SWICO</strong> <strong>Recycling</strong>, <strong>SLRS</strong> 2011<br />
Now <strong>the</strong> next step in consolidating cooperation between <strong>the</strong><br />
three organisations is taking place. With this report, which is<br />
aimed at a technically minded readership, a joint technical<br />
report by <strong>SWICO</strong> <strong>Recycling</strong>, <strong>SENS</strong> and <strong>SLRS</strong> is being published<br />
for <strong>the</strong> first time. The technical report covers fields where<br />
all three organisations operate, but also highlights aspects<br />
which only involve one particular take-back system. It provides<br />
an overview <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> key events <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> past year as well as considering<br />
current <strong>the</strong>mes.<br />
We have great pleasure in submitting <strong>the</strong> 2011 <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
to you. We hope that this joint publication <strong>of</strong> <strong>SWICO</strong> <strong>Recycling</strong>,<br />
<strong>SENS</strong> and <strong>SLRS</strong> will generate keen interest and look forward<br />
to receiving feedback.
