Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE waste) is one of the most common wastes in the works, but their safe disposal and recycling is a huge challenge the planet faces.
Different WEEE wastes are available, and with technological advancements, more WEEE waste is being produced. WEEE include the following.
WEEE recycling is a safe and eco-friendly method for disposing of Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment or WEEE. Electronic and electrical equipment includes anything that works with batteries or has a plug.
The 2012 WEEE directive states that manufacturers and distributors of WEEE are financially responsible for the impact of their products on the environment, especially when they get disposed of.
Arranging for responsible recycling of electronics is easy. You can contact Junk Removal London to take care of your WEEE recycling in London. We offer exceptional WEEE recycling to keep the environment safe.
WEEE ranges from household to non-household items. It includes small and large household appliances, IT equipment, automatic dispensers, medical equipment and lighting equipment.
Devices available in the market before 2005 are historic WEEE, and those available after 2005 are non-historic WEEE. In the past, only the manufacturers of electronic equipment were responsible for the equipment’s disposal, but since 2005, the responsibility is on both manufacturers and distributors of the electronic equipment.
WEEE includes, but is not limited to:
Electrical waste contains harmful chemicals. These chemicals negatively affect the environment. They include lead, mercury, arsenic, and non-biodegradable materials such as glass, metals and plastics.
When dumped in landfills without treatment, end-of-life electronic equipment decay and leaks toxins into groundwater and the earth, eventually entering our food chain and affecting our health.
Materials such as metals, glass and plastic do not decay for many years. In most cases, they remain intact for thousands of years, causing serious damage to the ecosystem, environment and health.
WEEE recycling is important to ensure the electronics are dismantled for spare parts, recycled or refurbished by experienced technicians. This prevents disruption of the ecosystem and harm to our health.
WEEE, such as hard drives, require secure destruction following the Date Protection Act of 2018 and DOD standards.
Recycling and properly disposing of WEEE waste is necessary for everyone involves in handling WEEE, from manufacturers to importers, retailers and end-users. All businesses must dispose of their electronic waste correctly, as failing to meet the WEEE disposal requirement results in huge fines and even imprisonment.
