Electrical waste in particular has become a key issue for businesses attempting to manage their waste. The majority of organisations now use IT equipment on a day to day basis and consequently the amount of redundant electrical equipment disposed of in landfill sites with has increased dramatically over recent years
We recycle all battery types including lead acid, nicad, lithium and silver mercury. The growth of mobile communications and the use of power equipment has increased our dependence on battery powered equipment. As the majority of mobile phone users change their handset (and battery) every two years the number of discarded batteries is set to rise. Discarded phones usually end up as landfill - a process that uses up both landfill space and recoverable materials
The WEEE directive is aimed at encouraging reuse and recycling, and minimising the negative environmental aspects of disposal. The Directive sets targets that 65% of IT equipment must be recycled, and materials such as CRT's (monitors), LCD displays, printed circuit boards, batteries and flame retardant plastics be pre-treated before disposal
Putting fluorescent tubes into landfill is no longer an option under the ‘Hazardous Waste Regulations’ 2005. Currently about 60 million tubes per year are sent to landfill.
