WEEE Processing
Nearly 1 million tonnes of WEEE (Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment) are discarded each year in the UK alone. More than 90% of this is still land filled. This poses a significant threat to the environment if not treated properly.
Recycling Lives have installed a WEEE processing line to help cope with this mountain of waste electrical and electronic waste generated every year.
Our high capacity shredding and sorting line is specially developed to separate ferrous from non-ferrous metals before further processing separates plastics into individual polymer types such as ABS, PS, PC/ABS e.g. monitor casings and keyboards, and other polymers such as HIPS, HDPE and LDPE.
The line enables Recycling Lives to offer an effective solution to recycling all domestic and commercial electrical and electronic equipment in accordance with the European legislation.
All Recycling Lives centres will have a facility for the drop off of WEEE goods which will then be passed into our specialist division for handing the equipment.
Recycling Lives is a fully accredited and active member sitting on the Industry Council for Electronics Recyclers, thus enabling them to keep abreast of all legislative changes and maintain their position as an industry leader.
