Material Focus - Electricals Recycling Fund
Details
The Electricals Recycling Fund aims to expand existing methods or trial new creative and practical ones for recycling small household electricals.
There is funding available for two types of projects:
- Projects to expand existing collection methods for small electricals.
- Projects to trial new approaches to repairing, reusing and/or recycling electricals.
Examples of projects include:
- Collection of waste electricals alongside other niche waste streams (e.g. textiles, batteries, furniture).
- Collection of waste electricals using the return journey/ spare capacity during collection/ delivery of parcels.
- Use of automated booking systems to manage demand and logistics of collection.
- Using new, low-energy, low-CO2 modes of transport for collections (e.g. e-cargo bikes).
- Diversion of electricals for reuse/recycling during household (kitchen) refits, moves or clearances.
- Drop-offs via automated locker companies.
- Shared drop-offs at large shopping centres.
- Drop-offs at post offices, major supermarkets, large shopping centres or retail parks.
- Collection points at large offices or office campuses.
- Projects that include the repair of small electricals.
- Projects that support tackling the growing concerns around digital inclusion.
They expect the majority of projects to be delivered across a 12-month period, although, where necessary, this may differ.
