WEEE Recycling – Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and includes anything from mobile phones, laptops and printers to TVs, fridges and freezers. Basically, if the item has a plug or a battery and is at the end of its useful life, it’s called WEEE.

We throw away 2 million tonnes a year

As you can imagine, with the rise in technology, and the constant upgrades and advancements, WEEE is a big problem these days. In the UK, we’re throwing away approximately 2 million tonnes of the product every year. That’s the equivalent to 158,103 double decker buses. And talking of double, this figure is expected to do just that in the next 15 years.

Staying compliant as a business

Moreover, in recognition of the dangers of sending WEEE to landfill, it is now a legal requirement for all UK organisations to dispose of their WEEE in the most sustainable manner and without harming the environment. We can work with you to ensure you remain compliant.
