As part of the campaign, Material Change is funding technical research on the barriers to reusing and recycling old electricals, with the aim of finding new approaches to recycling. The organisation is also working with partners to expand the number and type of electrical collection points across the country.<\/p>\n<p>It has launched a website to help householders find their nearest reuse and recycling points and encourages people to recycle their electricals when lockdown lifts. The Recycle Your Electricals campaign will also involve a communications initiative to help people see the value of their old electricals and know what to do with them.<\/p>\n<p>Scott Butler, executive director of Material Change, said: \u201cWe want to stop old electricals being simply thrown away, and create a campaign that inspires millions to take action by reusing and recycling. \u201cWhen we recycle our old electricals, we\u2019re giving a new lease of life to the treasure hidden within &#8211; valuable metals like gold, copper, steel, and aluminium. \u201cThese materials can then be transformed into everything from bicycles to life-saving equipment. \u201cIf you\u2019re decluttering at home, now is a good time to gather up, prepare, and store your old electricals in a bag &#8211; ready for recycling after lockdown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.recyclingwasteworld.co.uk\/news\/material-change-launches-electrical-recycling-campaign\/226858\/\">Recycling Waste World<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The not-for-profit, formerly known as the WEEE Fund, is calling on households to stop throwing away and hoarding unwanted old electricals and start reusing and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5013,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":null,"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":null,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[31],"tags":[2170,2169],"class_list":["post-9840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-environmental-news-en","tag-material-change","tag-weee","wpcat-31-id"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/kiertotalous2.jpg?fit=120%2C120&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9840"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9840\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9842,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9840\/revisions\/9842"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
