näyttiläiskäytteen

Näyttiläiskäytteen is a Finnish term that translates roughly to "display waste" or "waste from a display." It refers to the discarded materials and components associated with electronic displays, such as those found in televisions, computer monitors, smartphones, and tablets. This category of waste encompasses a range of items, including broken screens, damaged casings, and obsolete electronic parts that are no longer functional or economically viable to repair.

The composition of näyttiläiskäytteen can vary depending on the type of display. Older cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors, for instance, contained hazardous materials like lead and phosphorus. Modern flat-panel displays, such as LCD and LED screens, are generally less hazardous but still contain valuable materials like rare earth elements and metals, as well as plastics and glass. Proper disposal and recycling of näyttiläiskäytteen are important to prevent environmental pollution from hazardous substances and to recover valuable resources.

In Finland, like in many other countries, there are specific regulations and collection systems in place for electronic waste, including näyttiläiskäytteen. Consumers are encouraged to return old electronics to designated collection points, where they can be processed responsibly. Recycling facilities dismantle these devices, separating different materials for reuse or safe disposal. The management of näyttiläiskäytteen is a growing concern due to the increasing volume of electronic devices and their relatively short lifespans.
