Leading and shaping producer responsibility

Spotlight on producer repairs and reuse

Greater Manchester based REPIC and EMERGE Recycling have teamed up to provide reuse and recycling for the new Recycle Your Electricals initiative, and welcome the campaign’s giant toaster (6.8ft by 12.8ft) for the first time to the North of England.

REPIC with support from Recycle Your Electricals is encouraging consumers to review the electrical appliances they have in their homes and pass any unwanted items on for reuse or recycling, with ten new e-waste collection sites opening on Friday 14th October – International E-Waste Day (IEWD).

REPIC, the largest household WEEE producer compliance scheme in the UK, has joined almost 100 organisations from 50 countries worldwide to take part in the third International E-Waste Day (IEWD) taking place on Wednesday 14th October.

UK homeowners aged between 16 and 29 are less likely than those over 60 to recycle electrical items that are either broken or in good working order, preferring instead to sell them online.

In July 2018 REPIC and the Lancaster University Pentland Centre research team held a roundtable event to present the findings of the research to a few key industry players. Watch the videos to see the delegates responses.

In 2017 REPIC commissioned the Lancaster University Pentland Centre team to research alternative WEEE forecasting models.
