Education
DHL Envirosolutions is working with a number of partners to provide information on reusing and recycling WEEE across the country. The partners are: North London Waste Authority; West London Waste Authority and Leicestershire county council.
Karl Greig, general manager of WEEE services from DHL Envirosolutions, said: Not a lot of people know that all electrical items, big or small can be reused or recycled. This is the first time a WEEE compliance scheme is exhibiting at the Gadget Show Live and we feel it is the perfect place to educate technology users about the lifecycle of their products. Visit us at stand E55 to take part in our retro buzzer game competition and look out for our life-size electrical mascots walking around the arena.
DHL Envirosolutions, owned by logistics firm DHL, undertakes a number of operations in the waste and recycling industry, including WEEE recycling and producer compliance.
