The
film “Bin vs Printer” has been unleashed by WRAP to
highlight the need and facilities for recycling Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment. (WEEE)
Hosted
at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUEPWF_mBQw
the minute-long animation recreates a tarantino-eque duel between
an obsolete printer and a wheelie bin. The aim of the film is
to remind people not just to bin their waste electrical goods,
but instead to recycle them- there is also URL supplied at which
people can find out where they can do this at http://www.dontbinitbringit.org/
WEEE
(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) regulations are in
place across Europe and local authorities, with the help of major
electrical retailers, have joined forces to provide facilities
for the re-use of electrical components.
According
to research conducted recently, 30 per cent of UK residents have
never recycled an electric or electronic device. Recycle Now believes
that this is due to a lack of information and has unleashed an
interactive Regeneration Game, in which users put in their postcode
to find out details about their nearest recycling facilities.
