W.E.E.E Recycling Company Yorkshire

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (W.E.E.E) can be anything from small or large electronic appliances to fridges, televisions, computers, cookers and washing machines. Currently the UK produces about 1 million tonne of W.E.E.E each year, however this figure is rising due to many factors. As technology is constantly developing and advancing, the rate in which consumers use and discard electronics and electrical equipment is also increasing. Therefore, it is imperative that there is W.E.E.E recycling options available.

W.E.E.E is made up of many heavy metals and halogenated substances such as lead, mercury and chromium, all of which do not degrade easily and if buried in landfill or incinerated they can be dangerous to both humans and the environment. Not only does W.E.E.E in landfill cause pollution problems, it is also a waste of potential resources. Electrical equipment is made from valuable resources and highly engineered materials which require energy to mine and manufacture, W.E.E.E recycling conserves natural resources and avoids the pollution and gas emissions created when manufacturing virgin materials.

The W.E.E.E Directive was introduced in 2007 with the aim to reduce the amount of W.E.E.E produced and regulate its disposal. Businesses are no longer able to discard and disown their waste, any business that produces W.E.E.E has a duty of care to dispose of their waste responsibly and must take various measures to ensure their W.E.E.E is reused or recycled. The best solution for any business producing electrical waste is to use a W.E.E.E recycling company. By using an experienced, professional W.E.E.E recycling company businesses can be sure that their W.E.E.E is handled in a way that complies with current legislation and is less detrimental to the environment.
