Recycling
eStores UK Ltd Is Committed to Looking After The Environment As Well
The United Kingdom is under an obligation to minimise the disposal of Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in domestic waste, and encourage recycling, recovery and environmentally sound disposal. Sustuu is committed to promoting the reuse, recycling and recovery of WEEE by contributing to the appropriate compliance schemes. Products or packaging will be marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol (below) to indicate that the product must not be disposed of in domestic waste but disposed of through an approved WEEE take back scheme.
Each year in the UK we go throw away over 1.2 million tonnes of electrical and electronic waste. That is the equivalent of 150 thousand double decker buses!
This increase is mainly down to:
• new technologies being developed
• affluent society
• throw away lifestyle
Over 75% of waste electrical goods end up in landfill, where lead and other toxins contained in the electrical goods can cause soil and water contamination.
This can have a very harmful effect on natural habitat, wildlife and also human health. When situated near populated areas these toxins can cause problems to communities as their water and soil is polluted.
Many of the electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps to save natural finite resources and also reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending waste electrical goods to landfill.
To minimise our impact on this earth and to protect the environment for future generations it is important that we are all aware of the consequences of our actions and how we can make a difference.
This is a lot of electrical waste! So to reduce the amount of electrical items going to landfill the government has introduced some new regulations called The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations.
eStores UK Ltd complies fully with WEEE Regulation 2006 Statutory Instrument, no. 3289
As per regulation 31. We are pleased to receive a similar item with similar specifications from a purchaser who does not wish to dispose of it himself or herself. The item should be sent to address provided by eStores UK Ltd with the copy of the invoice.
