This first Carbon Impact Report provides producer members (electronics manufacturers) with quantified data on net carbon savings from their 2024 recycling activities.

Downstream Scope 3 requires different calculations and we’re proud of our ground breaking work together in this area.

And we must remember that although most people feel that they are in a minority who want climate action, we are actually in a majority of around 69%.

Speaking up about your values and your actions has power to help narrow this perception gap.

We have the technology we need, we have the energy we need. Now we must balance these innovations with care and wisdom.

The polycrisis we are accelerating into, is at its core a crisis of thinking and values.

We help clients look have a positive impact related to their team, their customers, their local community.

One food producer on the edge of the South Downs is now helping restore nature in the National Park, and their staff can go and see the projects.

EPR is welcome legislation to push the costs of waste management back onto the industries responsible. If it can give consumers goods where a lower impact means a lower price tag, that's a win for all of us.

📺 If you buy a new appliance, larger stores must offer to take your old one away for free, saving you a trip to the local tip. If you do go to the tip, unlike other waste, the cost of WEEE treatment and recycling is paid by electronics producers through a compliance scheme, not your council tax.

📱 Electronic waste has had EPR since 2013, when the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations (fondly known as WEEE) came into force. You now see in-store collection points, where you can ditch your old phone, laptop or iPod (remember those?).

🌱 Any packaging with less environmental impact or cheaper to recycle will pay lower fees. Lower fees mean lower prices. So shoppers get offered a product with lower environmental impact at a lower price - going against the idea of a ‘green premium’ for more sustainable products.

🚦 Individual producers will pay higher or lower fees when ‘fee modulation’ takes effect in 2026. This will apply a traffic-light system to packaging based on how easy it is to recycle. Red packaging pays more, green packaging pays less.
