RECYCLING

forward thinking

At The Appliance Recycling Group, we operate at the forefront of sustainable appliance disposal and resource recovery, providing comprehensive recycling solutions to the UK’s leading brands. Our scale, infrastructure and expertise allow us to handle large volumes of end-of-life appliances efficiently, safely and in full compliance with all regulatory requirements. Our national network of approved recycling partners is carefully selected and audited to ensure they uphold the highest environmental and operational standards. When an appliance reaches the end of its life and can no longer be reused or refurbished, we make certain it is processed through state-of-the-art recycling facilities.

the process

Appliances are dismantled using advanced mechanical processes, beginning with the safe removal of any potentially hazardous materials. For instance, refrigeration units often contain gases or insulation foams that require specialist extraction and treatment to prevent environmental harm. Our partners are fully equipped to handle these substances in accordance with the latest environmental legislation, ensuring they are neutralised or disposed of responsibly before the recycling process continues. Once cleared of any harmful elements, each appliance is passed through high-capacity industrial shredding systems designed to reduce it into smaller fragments, referred to in the industry as recyclates …

Raising Industry Standards

Recyclates include valuable materials such as metals, plastics and glass. These fragments are carefully separated using advanced technologies like magnetic separators, eddy currents, air classifiers and water-based systems.

This multi-stage process recovers clean, high-quality material streams from bulky waste, ready to be reintegrated into manufacturing. By reintroducing these materials, we help partners reduce dependence on virgin resources and support circular economy goals.

Our long-established relationships with leading manufacturers and retailers are built on trust, compliance and a shared drive for sustainability. From appliance collection to final recycling, we provide full traceability, ensuring alignment with WEEE regulations and internal sustainability targets. Detailed reporting gives our clients transparency on volumes, recovery rates and environmental impact, backed by robust quality assurance.

We work continuously with our recycling partners to improve recovery levels and material quality. By investing in innovation and adopting new technologies, we maximise efficiency and output. Whether managing national take-back schemes or end-of-line appliance disposal, we deliver scalable, high-performance recycling solutions. Our operations are fully aligned with UK environmental strategy and evolving client sustainability goals. We don’t just meet today’s standards—we help shape tomorrow’s.
