The Green Value Chain
Our story begins in Japan:
The WEEE Directive
Reduce Re-use Recover Recycle
Not forgetting that the directive also asks to improve the environmental performance of equipment over its lifecycle
The WEEE Directive
Transported Round the Country
To be Processed
Mechanically
Re-use
Or Recycling
WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)
A Cost Cost to Handle Cost to Process Cost to Landfill
An Opportunity A New Green Value Chain
Prisons?
The Learning Light Project
Training offenders in recycling Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Trialled in HMPs Wealstun and Everthorpe
In response to the Recycling Industry learning requirements
To Do This
By e-learning
The Project
Set up workshops to carry out the disassembly of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
To skill up offenders to carry out these tasks using energy efficient techniques
To harness the power of e-learning to deliver the skills required
To offer a meaningful work experience
To provide a qualification for the learners
Leading to….
Employment opportunities on release in an expanding market
Less likelihood of re-offending
and incidentally……
Major environmental benefits:
Carbon saving of: 450.2394tpa in a 4mth period
An inkjet printer weighing 7kg
reduced to 1g of waste to landfill
The Results
Enhanced learning experience Increased ICT skills Meaningful work while in prison Understanding of environmental issues Delivering almost 99% reuse or recycle Massive savings in product sent to landfill A work based qualification Job opportunity in an industry set to expand
exponentially
Delivering So Much More………..
