Abstract. This paper highlights drivers for change and the concerns related to the processing of waste from end-of-life household appliances and similar products. External drivers are emphasized in order to disclose financial motivation for redesigning present procedures and products. Legal requirements, taken as either reactive or proactive, provide a clear framework for further development of environmentally friendly industrial activities. Safety concerns are analyzed in order to raise awareness of health hazards in a steadily developing waste industry. Product end-of-life management and environmentally conscious product design encompasses not only technical details, but also requires insight in legal, health and safety issues.
Key Words: Household Waste Management, WEEE Waste, Recycling, Environmental Health and Safety

TRETMAN OSTATAKA ELEKTRICNIH APARATA -
MOTIVACIONI FAKTORI, ZAKONSKI I BEZBEDNOSNI ASPEKTI
U radu se analiziraju ekonomski, zakonski i bezbednosni okviri za razvoj optimalnog tretmana ostataka aparata bele tehnike po isteku upotrebne vrednosti. Naglašeni su ekonomski motivacioni faktori za reinženjering postojećih procedura i proizvoda, dok razvoj legislative u ovoj oblasti predstavlja jasan okvir za budući razvoj ekološki podobnih industrijskih aktivnosti. Zdravstveni rizici u industriji prerade otpada u odgovarajućem sektoru su sistematizovani u cilju širenja saznanja o mogućim implikacijama određenih tehnoloških aktivnosti. Tretman industrijskog otpada i projektovanje ekološki podobnih proizvoda ne obuhvata samo tehnička rešenja, već zahtevaj uvid u pravna, zdravstvena i bezbednosna pitanja iz domena upravljanja sekundarnim materijalima.
