WEEE Processing

SWEEEP Kuusakoski is recognised as one of the UK’s leading WEEE processors. Our processing facilities are among the most sophisticated and environmentally friendly in Europe.

Rapid advances in technology mean the UK faces an ever growing tide of excess, obsolete or end-of-life commercial and consumer electrical and electronic equipment. Our role at SWEEEP Kuusakoski is to provide industry and government with environmentally safe processing of this equipment.

Our services include:

Collection & processing of all business WEEE
Processing of Municipal WEEE
Data wiping of computers
Brand protection in a secure dedicated environment
Disintegration to base materials
Remarketing of sorted base materials

CRT and LCD recycling

R&D is an integral part of our business, so we are continually developing new facilities and services to meet the needs of our customers. In 2010, for example, we invested in a bespoke plant to recover and recycle the hazardous substances contained in cathode ray tubes (CRTs) from televisions and computer monitors. As a result, we can now safely separate unleaded from hazardous leaded glass.

Also, with Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) rapidly replacing CRTs, we now have a purpose-built mercury stripping facility that can safely process LCDs.
