At the recent Resource Conference, WRAP Scotland stated that the First Priority in the Waste Hierarchy is Waste Prevention. We definitely agree with them on that, however they go on to point out that “Electrical Equipment Waste in Scotland over the last decade contained around £700 Million worth of Precious Metals” Importantly it was noted that very little of it was recovered in Scotland.
We would go further and say that the Scottish Local Communities should be having the revenue from Electrical Waste Prevention at local community level. If it stays local to benefit local people, then everyone wins. People will have goods to buy cheaply, carbon would be saved, local council disposal fees would drop.
How could you do that, we hear you ask?
If local enterprises were to register with an EEESafe DAT where diversion from households of potential electrical waste was diverted to someone assessed for their knowledge on Electricity, then the resource value would belong to the Community where it would stay for repair and money would also be donated by EEESafe to those who need it.
EEESafe can divert old appliances through into it’s LocalitEEE Marketplace and link consumers directly Network of Appliance Repairers (EEESafe DATs, Domestic Appliance Technicians) who repair in the community households and workshops.
