What is WEEE?

Does it apply to your business ?

The WEEE Regulations affect businesses that:

• manufacture electrical and electronic equipment (EEE)

WEEE applies to virtually every business and organisation in the U.K

What do we do with it ?

Metal

The equipment is dismantled and all ferrous and non ferrous metals are shredded and sorted and all end up at specialist smelting plants for full recycling.

These are separated, collected and processed back into circuit boards.

All cables and leads are separated and go to a specialist recycling plant where the copper is extracted and reused.

This is shredded for environmentally efficient transport and is incinerated to produce energy at a local (3 miles) waste to energy plant

Other hazardous waste such as batteries are removed and processed by specialist reprocessing partners

We will charge by the item for small electrical items and by the KG for larger items. The overall costs will depend on transport, location and quantities
