The WEEE Directive aims to reduce quantities of electrical and electronic waste disposed of to landfill and reduce the harmful effects caused by WEEE on health and the environment whilst conserving natural resources.
Lamp recycling
The Mercury from 1 single Fluorescent Tube is enough to pollute 30,000 Litres of Water beyond the safe drinking level.
Fluorescent Tubes contain in general 94% Glass, 4% Ferrous and Non ferrous metals, and 2% Phosphor Powder, It is within this phosphor powder that the most hazardous element is contained- Mercury.
Fluorescent Tubes are classified as Hazardous Waste and therefore should preferably be recycled – we have designed lamp recycling boxes that can assist recyclers in this task:
We also supply specially designed containers for spent Compact Fluorescent lamps.
Battery Recycling
Retailers, must accept back batteries and accumulators from private households free of charge as long as the batteries and accumulators are of equivalent type available to purchase from the premises.
We have designed, marketed and promoted a number of products and containers aimed at assisting in this process. These are being used successfully at the retail and consumer level.
CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) Recycling
Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) have been widely promoted by electric utilities and energy efficiency groups because they produce the same amount of light as standard incandescent bulbs while using up to 75% less energy and lasting up to ten times as long. We offer full range of products designed to promote and help in CFL collection.
