Nowadays, the Environment Agency has established strict waste tracking policies in order to police the collection, reporting, certification, treatment and export of all Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and raw material generated from the UK recycling process.
The business of WEEE recycling has a very promising future, with the market keeps expanding through better education to consumers and businesses along with legislation changes.
