Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) waste is among the largest produced waste in the world. Disposing of this waste properly is a huge challenge the planet faces now and in the future.
A wide variety of WEEE waste is available, and with technological advancement, the current turnover of WEEE waste is higher. WEEE waste includes the following, but this list isn’t exhaustive.
WEEE recycling is a safe and eco-friendly Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) disposal. WEEE includes any electronic and electric equipment powered by batteries or plugs.
The WEEE Directive of 2012 stipulated that WEEE manufacturers and distributors in Europe are financially responsible for the impact of their product on the environment from its launching to disposal.
Businesses and individuals can easily arrange responsible electronic recycling by contacting London Rubbish Collection. We provide WEEE recycling services throughout London, and our expert team will ensure we handle your WEEE disposal needs.
WEEE waste disposal can be household or non-household, including anything from small and large office appliances to IT equipment, lighting equipment, automatic dispensers and medical devices.
Devices available in the market before 2005 are known as pre-historic WEEE, while those available after 2005 are non-historic WEEE. Owners of historic WEEE bore full responsibility for its disposal, but since 2005, the responsibility to dispose of WEEE has been on both the distributors and producers.
The items below fall under WEEE when it comes to recycling.
The WEEE regulations affect the following:
Electrical waste contains chemicals that harm the environment, such as lead, mercury and arsenic, and non-biodegradable materials like glass, metals and plastics. When these wastes are dumped in landfills, they decay and leak toxins into the underground water, gradually ensuring the food chain and our body systems.
Materials like metals, plastics and glass remain intact in the ground for hundreds to thousands of years, resulting in serious environmental and health impacts.
Recycling WEEE properly is vital because it ensures the electronic waste gets dismantled for spares or refurbished by experienced technicians instead of contributing to disrupting the ecosystem.
Our experts will securely destroy hard drives following the 2018 Data Protection Act and the DOD standards to ensure your privacy.
Everybody involved in handling WEEE, from the manufacturers to importers, retailers and end users, has a role in responsible WEEE recycling. All European government bodies and businesses must dispose of their electronic waste correctly. Failing to comply with these WEEE regulations may result in huge fines or imprisonment.
