WEEE LEGISLATION AND PRINTER RECYCLING

New legislation came into force in 2007 to cover waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). It is now a requirement that you obtain and keep proof that your Printer WEEE was given to a Printer waste management company such as Concept, and was treated and disposed of in an environmentally sound way. The regulations have significant implications those who treat or recover Printer WEEE, and stipulate that users must store, collect, treat, recycle and dispose of Printer WEEE separately from other waste.

Concept Management’s IT and printer recycling service covers the collection of large quantities of printer and photocopying equipment including large format printers, plotters and scanners.

Printers and photocopiers record each document printed or photocopied in their memory; This could include sensitive data.

Computer printer disposal is an essential part of the WEEE recycling solution. Plastic gases, and other similar products are used for the production of modern electronics including printers. Lead is one example of harmful content that is used for electronics manufacturing and one that poses a huge threat to the health of anyone exposed to this element. Furthermore, if we don’t perform computer printer recycling, it means we are dumping these e-wastes into landfills can result in harmful chemicals being released into the air, which are then inhaled by those who live close to landfill sites causing serious danger to their health. Printer and toner recycling can help reduce the impact e-waste has on the environment and to those that live nearby.

Computer printer disposal is a specialist skill that needs to be performed by an accredited recycling company to ensure the electrical waste recycling meets and exceeds EU Standards and work within ISO: 14001 Environmental Standard.
