The problem with electricals
-
The UK is the second highest producer of e-waste per capita on Earth
We buy 1.7m tonnes of new devices every year
-
But we don’t even use most of the stuff we buy
A whopping 880 million electrical items lie unused in UK homes 🤯
-
Most of these items end up broken in landfill and it’s harming our planet
100,000+ tonnes of waste electricals are thrown away every year
