What Our Clients Say

What Does WEEE Mean?

WEEE stands for Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment, a definition that encompasses most products with a plug or need a battery.

The recycling of materials that make up these items is a growing sector. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) estimates that households and businesses discard a combined two million tonnes of WEEE in the UK each year.

Simpler Recycling

From March 31st 2025, all businesses with 10 or more full time equivalent employees must segregate their waste streams at source. This is to allow for easier and more efficient recycling. Schools, hospitals and commercial enterprises must all comply with these new laws and separate the following waste:

Plastic, glass, metal (cans, tins and foil), cartons & tetrapaks, paper and cardboard, and food waste.

Businesses with less than 10 employees are advised to separate any materials that generate over 5kg of waste, but will not be subject to the new laws until March 2027.

Fresh Start can help you get on top of the rules and regulations, supporting you with WEEE waste management and sustainability across your company. We have already won two prestigious awards for our work on Simpler Recycling, including an International Green Apple Award for our Simpler Recycling for Schools campaign.

What Are the Different Types of WEEE?

There are 10 broad categories of WEEE outlined within the current regulations. They are:

Large household appliances
Small household appliances
IT and telecommunications equipment
Consumer equipment
Lighting equipment
Electrical and electronic tools
Toys, leisure and sports equipment
Medical devices
Monitoring and control equipment
Automatic dispensers

What Effects Does Electronic Waste Have on the Environment?

Businesses and offices possess more electronic devices and pieces of equipment than ever. With so many hazardous materials used to manufacture those devices, diverting them to landfill would severely damage the environment. For example, if harmful metals leaked into soil or polluted nearby water supplies.

Fresh Start is an expert in WEEE collection and disposal. We design total waste management solutions that are both safe and meet the strict requirements of the law.
