Demonstration of using recycled content from UK WEEE plastics in electrical products

A feasibility study to test the cost and environmental benefits of using recycled UK WEEE plastics in the production of high-end audio products.

 

This work follows on from an earlier trial by WRAP with Indesit, which demonstrated that closed-loop recycled UK WEEE plastics could be used successfully in domestic appliances on a commercial scale.

 

This study aimed to take the use of recycled content a step further, demonstrating to brands and manufacturers that UK WEEE plastics can also be used in premium products with the highest levels of technical and aesthetic requirements – delivering both cost savings and environmental benefits.
