EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WEEE WASTE RECYCING!
What is WEEE Waste?
WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and it categorised as any form of unwanted electrical or electronic waste such as monitors, cabling or wiring, peripherals etc.
Why recycle WEEE?
All electrical appliances can contain toxic substances in the form of heavy metals or chemicals that are considered a hazard to health. Harmful elements such as lead, beryllium, polyvinyl chloride and mercury. By recycling WEEE the base materials are recovered and is then diverted from landfill because when WEEE waste is dumped to landfill and left to decay, the toxins will slowly release which in turn contaminates our drinking water and earths soil.
WEEE recycling is a law in Europe and it states that everyone must dispose of their e-waste in a responsible manner. Ensuring homes and businesses recycle, reuse or recover e-waste before disposal.
