Why Recycle?
-
Unwanted electrical equipment is the UK’s fastest-growing type of waste.
-
Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, helping to save natural resources and protect the environment.
-
If not properly recycled, electrical waste ends up in landfills, where hazardous substances can leak into the soil and water, harming wildlife and human health.
What Does the Crossed-Out Wheeled Bin Symbol Mean?
You may notice a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on your electrical products.
This symbol reminds you not to dispose of electrical items in your household waste bin.
Instead, please recycle your old equipment at a designated recycling centre to ensure it is processed safely and sustainably.
Our Commitment Under WEEE Regulations
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 require:
-
Maximising the separate collection of electrical waste (WEEE)
-
Ensuring environmentally friendly processing and recycling of electrical goods
As a responsible retailer, Zyliss fully supports these initiatives.
We have met our obligations by financially supporting the national network of WEEE recycling centres operated by local authorities, giving our customers the opportunity to recycle old electrical items free of charge when purchasing new ones.
Thank You for Recycling Responsibly
By recycling your electrical goods, you are helping to protect the environment, conserve resources, and create a healthier world for future generations.
