Business hoarding of electronic waste (e-waste) is a major contributor to the UK's growing electronic waste crisis, with companies, organisations, Schools and universities routinely stockpiling millions of obsolete devices in cupboards and storage rooms

• Millions of Unused Devices: Research shows that UK organizations (with 10 or more employees) are hoarding approximately 12 million unused mobile and tablet devices

• Massive Waste Generation: The UK produces an estimated 45 to 1.65 million tonnes of electrical and electronic waste (WEEE) combined across households and businesses every single year.
• Commercial Skip Losses: Around 145,000 tonnes of commercial electrical waste is thrown away directly into general skips annually with no proof of recycling.
• Raw Material Value: Stored and discarded electronics contain critical and precious raw materials—such as gold, copper, aluminium, steel, and lithium—costing the UK economy hundreds of millions in lost resources.

Why Businesses and organisations Hoard E-Waste

• "We Might Need It" Mentality: Many organisations retain old computers, laptops, monitors, and servers under the assumption that they will serve as emergency spares, though ongoing software updates frequently render them obsolete anyway.

• Priority Deficit: Sorting through redundant IT equipment is rarely prioritized by busy management teams, causing devices to quietly accumulate in cupboards over multiple years.

• Data Security Concerns: Fear of data leaks prevents companies from hastily tossing hard drives, often delaying proper clearance until a formal, secure process can be organized.
