What is WEEE Waste Recycling?

WEEE waste is generated by most enterprises in at least one of the categories listed by WEEE legislation, and Southampton Waste can assist. With our WEEE waste solutions, businesses are able to reduce the costs of recycling WEEE waste while simultaneously improving their environmental performance. Due to electrical equipment demand and technological development, weee has become a rapidly growing waste stream.

Often, we toss out better gadgets as soon as a better, brand-new one comes along, regardless of whether they are still working perfectly. Meanwhile, WEEE is often contaminated with very toxic elements like mercury, which can contaminate our drinking water. Consequently, governments started to enact waste management legislation.

WEEE is now divided into eleven broad categories in the Regulations such as:

Large domestic appliances: Large domestic equipment includes refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, washing machines, and dishwashers, to name a few.

How is WEEE Recycled?

WEEE is intended to be recycled and properly disposed of. Your company may not specialize in the manufacture of electronic equipment, but nowadays, every company creates some form of weee. As a result, weee recycling or disposal is likely to be required by every business.

We’ll collect the waste, sift it, and break it down into tiny pieces so that we can separate the recyclables. The recyclable parts will then be sent to our recycling centres, where they will be rebuilt into new electrical components for use in automobiles, cellphones, computers, and other electrical devices. Those pieces that aren’t recyclable will be discarded.
