WEEE waste or electrical waste can be toxic as it is not biodegradable and instead accumulate in our soil, water, air and generally the environment as a whole. Most products that have a plug or battery can broadly be categorised as WEEE waste with the current regulations stating that large household appliances such as fridges, microwaves, fridges, washing machines etc all come under this category of waste. Electrical waste contains a complex mixture of materials which are hazardous and cause long term problems and health issues. This type of waste can be recognised by the WEEE wheelie bin logo, which is a black symbol denoting a crossed out wheelie bin. It was put in place by the EU.
WEEE waste has to be disposed of safely because it contains a complex mix of non-degradable and sometimes toxic hazardous materials. As said when not disposed of correctly they can cause major environmental and health problems such as adverse effects to the heart, liver and kidneys. Further, by recycling or reusing whenever possible it reduces the amount sent to landfill and saves massive resources as tonnes of materials are reused without having to be sourced all over again. Safe disposal has ensured that exploitation of precious resources has massively reduced with professional recycling helping to reduce the poisonous emissions from metal mining by up to 50%.
