Require manufacturers of electrical goods to take and recycle old equipment

Petition Details

All manufacturers of electrical goods should be required to provide a service to take away old equipment and recycle them properly. A lot of old electronic equipment ends up in recycle centres that are not equipped for the task.

Additional Information

With the current speed of technological evolution many electronic goods such as TVs, Phones, Tablet and Laptops have 3 to 5 years of usable life. Much of this old equipment, when replaced, ends up in incorrect recycle centres that are not equipped correctly to deal with them.

Manufacturers should be made responsible for providing a service to recycle the old equipment that their products are replacing. This would require them to contract recyclers to handle the old electronics appropriately.
