Ecology in lighting
Špidlík, Jan ; Štěpánek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Krbal, Michal (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis is focused on introduction to ecology in lighting technology. There are briefly described individual light sources and chemical substance used in the manufacture of components. For clarity is amount of toxic mercury in each light source displayed in well-arranged picture. Thesis is also focused on the influence of lighting technology in the environment and impact on the ecosystem. Closer look is made upon influence of mercury on environment and human life and also overall influence of mining metals and its devastating consequences for ecosystem. This work also deals with post processing of light sources by collective systems.

Operation of a collective system according to the End-of-Life Products Act
Mehl, Jakub ; Franková, Martina (advisor) ; Sobotka, Michal (referee)
Operation of a collective system according to the End-of-Life Products Act Abstract This thesis deals with the operation of a collective system for fulfilling the obligations of producers of electrical equipment, batteries and accumulators and tyres. This is a current and from the environmental perspective very important issue, which is not only almost unknown to the general public, but also the professional public does not approach it with due attention. The main objective of the thesis is to analyse the new legislation and assess whether it may contribute to the transition to a circular economy. The sub-objectives consist of summarising the evolution of waste management in the Czech Republic with regard to the background resulting from European Union law, presenting the collective system as an alternative platform for the fulfilment of environmental obligations of producers and taking into account the approaches applied in the European Union Member States, as well as providing suggestions for potential amendments. The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first chapter concerns the development of the approach to waste management, focusing primarily on European Union law and principles, at the same time it explains the reasons for the adoption of the current national legislation. The second chapter...

COLLECTION SCHEME OF MOBILE PHONES AND ITS IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT
Švančarová, Markéta ; Kočí, Vladimír (advisor) ; Trecáková, Tatiana (referee)
The issue of the increasing amount of e-waste is a phenomenon of the 21st century. The amount of EoL mobile phones is growing rapidly but only a small amount is recycled. The thesis examines the environmental impacts of the Remobil project concerning the collection of phones that go to recycle. The impacts of the project are evaluated by the LCA method. Life cycle assessment is an important method of assessing the product that is part of decision-making at the international, national and local level, within the government and private sectors. The method provides complex outputs that can be comparable to other results. Modelling the impacts of the Remobil project provided a number of results. The comparison of the collecting boxes showed that the least impact on the impact category was caused by polypropylene boxes while the stainless steel boxes caused the greatest impact. The biggest influence on impact categories within the project was caused by transport, which was quite excessive due to the pilot phase of the project. It is also important to note the higher level of effort required for the per- kilogram collection of small electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) waste, such as mobile phones, compared to the collection of large EEE waste, such as washing machines. The Remobil project and recycling of...

Vývoj materiálové struktury a nakládání s elektroodpadem
Hylák, Filip
The theme of this diploma thesis is the development of material structure and treatment of e-waste in the Czech Republic. The theoretical background and negative trends in the handling of electrical waste in the world are defined in the literary research. The research is also focused on the current legislation and its historical development. Furthermore, the individual phases of the electrical waste management system are mentioned. The last theoretical part identifies significant material components and their environmental impact. In the part of analytic work there are analyzed the material structures of selected types of historical and modern electrical equipment and their economic value. Based on the data obtained from the analytic work and secondary sources, there will be identified the negative trends that affect competition and set targets for take-back electrical equipment in the Czech Republic. In the discussion part, the possible ways of solving the identified negative tendencies will be proposed.

Systém nakládání s elektroodpadem ve Zlínském kraji
Hylák, Filip
The theme of this bachelor thesis is a treatment of e-waste and batteries in the Zlin region. The literature review describes the theoretical basis and the Czech legislation, which addresses the issue of e-waste and batteries. Consequently, there is mentioned the current system of e-waste collecting at the national level, the impact of e-waste on the environment, the material composition and the recovery of e-waste. The last theoretical section contains a collection efficiency of e-waste. Second part of the thesis describes and evaluates the system of e -waste and batteries collection in the Zlin region. Subsequently, there are mentioned collective systems, which provide the takeback of e-waste in the region. The final part of the thesis evaluates the competition of the manufacturing entities and the development of e-waste production in the area. Based on the controlled interview with the management of the company, which provides e-waste takeback and its processing, there will be defined proposals for more effective implementation of the collection.

Ensuring take-back of the Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Czech Republic
Jáklová, Zuzana ; Ševčík, Miroslav (advisor) ; Zeman, Karel (referee)
This thesis aims to analyse and assess the effectiveness of functioning of the take-back system of the electrical and electronic equipment within the Czech Republic. This thesis deals in the first place with a general view on the waste management. It is subsequently followed by a detailed interpretation of the Act No. 185/2001 Coll., on Waste with focus on the issues discussed in this thesis. On the basis of the 2005 amendment of the Act on Waste the producers and importers of electrical and electronic equipment are obliged to guarantee the take-back, separate collection, processing, reuse and disposal of the end-of-life products launched to the Czech market. Most producers and importers have created collective systems with the purpose of joint fulfilment of their legal obligations. Next part of this thesis focuses on the examination of the six Czech collective systems. With greater attention the thesis deals with the activity of the collective system ELEKTROWIN a.s. The results of its activities are assessed using the method of comparison with the electrical and electronic equipment producers association for recycling ENVIDOM. ENVIDOM acts as a collective system in Slovakia. The thesis is concluded by assesing the successfulness of the Czech Republic to meet the goal of collection of the end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment set by the European Union. A comparison of results achieved with the results of other European countries was conducted.
