Differenciated ecofee

| Hi all,
I'm busy with doing research for my thesis. The goal of my thesis is to
look if it is possible to reward environmentally friendly electronic
equipment and to penalise environmentally unfriendly electronic
equipment by a differentiated ecofee [in Europe El-Kretsen, Nvmp,
Recupel].
To evaluate different design criteria's like the recyclability, the
amount of hazardous material, design for dissassembly will be used.
Is there somebody who can help me to provide me with data about the
material composition of a certain type of electronic equipment, for
example refrigerators, television. I need this information to look if
there are significant difference in material composition of electronic
equipment which allows to assign a different ecofee.
Kind Regards

Well: refrigirators and aircos contain eco unfriendly gas.
Plus some plastics and metals.
Disassembly requires special skills and equipment, mainly to
collect the gas-type refrigirant.
Washing machines --especially 'by weight'-- contain concrete.
Plus some plastics and metals.
Dissassembly requires brute force :-)
Television: Highly mixed content. Wood, plastic, glass,
electronic part. Once the tube is dismantled, anyone can
dissassemble the remainder.
The list goes on. If you want to discuss it further, I suggest
you drop me an email as I cannot imagine many readers here are
interrested :-)
And unless you speak french: we can probably skip some
translation stages :-)
