Our WEEE Recycling Process

At Pure Planet Recycling we guarantee secure, UK based material level recycling.

Our process is simple and allows a fully auditable route for all equipment collected:

  • We collect redundant equipment from your office, factory or warehouse using our own fully trained, uniformed and security cleared staff
  • All duty of care paperwork is supplied for both hazardous and non hazardous waste. All paperwork provided details the collection and disposal points as well as company information such as our waste carrier licence number
  • All equipment is segregated and sorted within our recycling facility in Bedfordshire
  • All hazardous waste such as fridges and freezers, fluorescent lighting and CRT monitors are then segregated from non hazardous equipment and handled by UK hazardous waste specialists:
    • - Fridges and freezers are degassed and all ozone depleting substances are removed, the plastic / metal fridge unit is then recycled to material level within the UK.
    • - CRT monitors are recycled using up-to-the-minute technology which removes the front panel glass from the curved funnel glass by the cutting system. The leaded glass is then cleaned by state of the art glass cleaning technology, all plastics and metals are recycled within the UK.
    • - Fluorescent light tubes are sent to be crushed, all the crushed lamp debris is then fed into a recycling unit that loosens the mercury bearing phosphor powder from the glass and the mercury separated into UN approved containers to be disposed of by specialists.
  • All non hazardous equipment such as IT equipment and telecoms equipment is recycled using an automated UK recycling plant to recover the raw, reusable materials.

At Pure Planet Recycling we ensure that we comply with all relevant environmental legislation; we commit to continually improve our environmental performance and use practices that avoid, reduce or control pollution. We do this by continuing to utilise advanced recycling machinery and technology available to ensure very high recycling and material recovery rates.
