E-waste is the world’s fastest-growing waste stream, with over 100,000 tonnes of electricals binned every year in the UK alone. Material Focus is making it easier to fix, donate and recycle our existing electricals, helping us all to save the valuable, critical and finite materials inside them from going to waste.
Some brilliant innovation is already happening, but many electrical and electronic products and smart devices still aren’t designed to be easily reused or recycled. And we lack the systems to recover all the valuable materials inside them.
That’s why we’ve launched the Circular Electricals Fund.
