ACTIONS

Reduce E-Waste and Correct Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE):

• Extend the life of electronics such as mobile phones and laptops by using a phone case/laptop bag, keeping your devices clean, shutting them down fully.

• Donate electrical equipment that is still in good working order but not being used to a reuse scheme.

• Electrical and Electronic Equipment that has reached the end of its life, including batteries and light bulbs are all classified as hazardous waste, and they must not be disposed of in general waste.

• The EU WEEE Directive designates safe and responsible collection, recycling, and recovery procedures for all types of electronic and electrical waste, including batteries and light bulbs.

• Purchase products labelled with the Energy Star or certified by the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT).

• Have faulty electronic items serviced before disposing of them to see if there is a possibility to fix them and extend their life.
