In 2002, the demand for DBDE in Japan was 2200ton/year and the stock level was about 60000 ton. TheDBDE flow into the waste stream was estimated to beabout 6000 ton/year and the flow out through second-handproduct exports was more than 700 ton/year. Home appliancerecycling facilities dismantle and crush domesticwastes containing about 600 ton of DBDE annually. Materialrecycling of crushed plastics is not commonly practicedas yet. Emission factors from plastics processing (2 Ã— 10âˆ’9â€“1 Ã— 10âˆ’7), textile processing (9 Ã— 10âˆ’7), home appliancerecycling (8 Ã— 10âˆ’9â€“5 Ã— 10âˆ’6), and waste incineration (1 Ã—10âˆ’7â€“2 Ã— 10âˆ’6) were estimated using field measurement data.The DBDE emission rate through house dust during theservice life of final products (2 Ã— 10âˆ’7â€“9 Ã— 10âˆ’7 per year) wasestimated using the DBDE concentration in dust and theamount of dust in used televisions. Emission factors fromprevious studies were also used.The estimated total DBDEemission was 170â€“1800kg/year. These results suggest thenecessity of characterizing emissions during the service lifeof products, which is essential information for formulatingan appropriate e-waste recycling strategy.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
