We at Hemini aim to reduce carbon footprint and try our bit to help save the planet by consistently evaluating our company’s environment policy. We have already set policy guidelines to be followed internally by all staff as well as raising awareness with both customers and suppliers.

Energy Efficient Products

Environmental issues are becoming important to organisations and individuals alike. Energy efficient choices can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save energy costs for the user, without sacrificing performance, features, style or comfort.

We are committed to providing environmentally responsible, energy-efficient technology choices. And therefore offer a complete environmentally responsible solution.

Recycling Services

We will ensure that all legal responsibilities regarding the disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) are satisfied, and in particular all requirements of The Environment Act's 'Duty of Care' regulations are met, the following processes will be applied:

• Depollution
• Shredding
• Separation
• Reprocessing

Depollution: Prior to processing the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), hazardous materials/components are removed from the equipment and separately treated in accordance with Annex II of the WEEE Directive and in line with best practice guidance provided via BATRRT.

Shredding: A powerful four shaft rotary shredder, large enough to process almost any form of whole IT equipment, reduces assembled structures down to 40mm or 25mm fragments, and in the process, liberates metals, metal bearing materials and plastics. This high-capacity system is capable of processing up to 80 Tonnes of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) per day.

Separation: After shredding, the mixed fragments move through an automated separation process, passing through powerful overband and drum magnets which extract and collect ferrous metal fragments. The residual fragments then pass through an eddy current separator, splitting the plastic and non-ferrous materials into two further, well-defined streams.

Reprocessing: The resulting separated recyclate streams from the process are then passed directly to specialised reprocessors who will reconstitute the recyclate into re-usable raw material commodities in a closed loop recovery, a zero landfill process!

What is it?

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) came into force in January 2007.

The WEE Directive aims to both reduce the amount of electrical and electronic equipment being produced and to encourage everyone to reuse, recycle and recover it.

The WEEE Directive also aims to improve the environmental performance of businesses that manufacture, supply, use, recycle and recover electrical and electronic equipment.

If you are an importer, rebrander or manufacturer of new electrical or electronic equipment then it's likely that you'll need to comply with the UK's WEEE Regulations, which in part implement the WEEE Directive. If you do need to comply, then you must register on a producer compliance scheme.

You may also have obligations under the WEEE Regulations if you are a business with electrical or electronic equipment to dispose of, or if you sell electrical or electronic equipment.

Our role is to provide information and advice on complying with the WEEE Regulations to producers of Electrical or Electronic Equipment (EEE) and the waste management industry.
