IT recycling has become an increasingly critical practice in addressing both environmental and security issues with redundant IT equipment in the UK.
The environmental challenges are due to the sometimes hazardous material in IT equipment, such as lead, mercury and cadmium, which can contaminate if not disposed of correctly.
The UK has implemented stringent regulations to manage e-waste effectively. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations were introduced in 2007 and have been updated regularly since. The regulations stipulate that the collection and recycling is carried out correctly with certification.
Turtle Waste Management can provide this efficient service, giving the customer complete satisfaction in the knowledge that all practises have been adhered to.
The recycling of IT equipment not only mitigates environmental harm but also conserves resources in the kit that can the be re-used, reducing the need for further mining of new materials.
