About us

Since the government’s WEEE directives, we now know some 1.8m tonnes of electrical waste is being sent to landfill every year.
From this knowledge, we became passionate about the environment and was increasingly disturbed about the damage being done. We felt even more could be achieved than by basic recycling, where equipment is broken up with some materials recovered and the rest sent to landfill. This passion led us to set up Green Eagle.
With the advantage of an upbringing that saw him spend time both in the UK and Africa, he saw the potential and importance of a business that was both ethical and profitable.

When Green Eagle takes electrical waste that may otherwise end up in landfill, it repairs, tests and redistributes that equipment to schools, developing businesses and charities that are in need.

Green Eagle sponsors BOAT (Banner over African Troubles) and is setting up a scheme (www.the-boat.org.uk) to create awareness of the issues.

Green Eagle’s ethos of reuse and recycle offers the most effective way to eliminate waste, protect the environment and make a real difference to developing communities.

Green Eagle is WEEE compliant.

Waste, Electronic and Electronic Equipment directive aims to:

• reduce waste from electrical and electronic equipment

• encourage the separate collection of WEEE

• encourage treatment, reuse, recovery, recycling and sound environmental disposal of WEEE

• make producers of EEE responsible for the environmental impact of their product

• improve the environmental performance of all those involved during the lifecycle of EEE.
