Amiante WEEE Disposal Services

WEEE Disposal Services

There are many hazardous substances used in IT equipment including lead, cadmium, mercury, bromine compounds and arsenic. Disposal poses a real threat of pollution to our Environment. As a result of this, the United Kingdom implemented The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive in January 2007. The WEEE Directive aims to both reduce the amount of electrical and electronic equipment being produced and to encourage everyone to reuse, recycle and recover it.

The WEEE Directive also aims to improve the environmental performance of businesses that manufacture, supply, use, recycle and recover electrical and electronic equipment.

To ensure that your business meets the legal requirements set out in the directive all redundant IT and electrical equipment needs to be disposed of at a licensed facility, by an appropriately licensed contractor.

How Amiante can help

We can help your organisation select the best option for storage and disposal of your redundant IT equipment with the correct completed paperwork, ensuring all UK and European legislations are met. We do not resell WEEE waste but instead we recycle it down to a material level within the UK.
