CHOOSE WEEE RECYCLE TO HELP SAFEGUARD THE ENVIRONMENT

Posted by WEEE Recycle Ltd on November 30th, 2020

Thankfully, it’s slowly becoming less common to find electrical & electronic waste being disposed of with household rubbish. Regulations enforced here in the UK have created awareness of the issue for the average person on the street, and the importance of maintaining a clean and healthy environment, and avoiding the accumulation of WEEE waste in landfills, has been effectively communicated.

We are all now becoming more conscious about the negative consequences of incorrect WEEE waste disposal and are more accepting of our individual responsibilities of WEEE recycling.

IT waste recycling is now mandatory for businesses and organisations that generate IT waste. Almost every firm should have protocols in place for IT waste recycling. In return, good WEEE recycling practices can enhance the reputation of firms, by demonstrating their social responsibility, and their commitment to maintaining a healthy environment. IT waste recycling is made possible via IT recycling companies which are accredited and authorised to collect, dismantle, extract and recycle WEEE waste correctly.

Many IT firms and organisations that generate WEEE waste have existing contracts with IT recycling companies in place, and as part of this service, personnel from IT recycling companies can make periodic visits to collect WEEE waste. WEEE recycling benefits all of us, and essential metals such as nickel, chromium, iron, copper can be recovered from e-waste and reused in the manufacture of new electrical and electronic goods, whilst contamination from toxic chemicals into soil and groundwater can be avoided. Working computers and screens can also be reused.
