Arkistokäyttöön

Arkistokäyttöön is a Finnish concept that refers to the reuse and recycling of electronic devices and equipment at the end of their life cycle. The goal of arkistokäyttöön is to reduce electronic waste (e-waste) and the environmental and health impacts associated with it.

In Finland, arkistokäyttöön is an important part of electronic waste management. It involves the systematic collection and processing of used electronic devices, with the aim of recovering and reusing their constituent materials. This can include everything from computers and mobile phones to TVs and refrigerators.

The principles of arkistokäyttöön are based on a cradle-to-cradle approach, where electronic devices are designed and built to be recyclable and reusable. This involves using materials that are easy to separate and process, reducing the use of hazardous substances, and designing devices that can be easily disassembled and refurbished.

Finland has implemented various measures to promote arkistokäyttöön, including the establishment of electronic waste collection points and recycling facilities throughout the country. The concept of arkistokäyttöön is also supported by many Finnish companies and organizations, which have developed new business models and services based on the reuse and recycling of electronic devices.

Overall, arkistokäyttöön is an important part of Finland's environmental policy, and has become a model for other countries to follow in the management of electronic waste.
