Solution For Managing 28-Day EEE
In a bid to reduce electronic waste and support sustainable business practices, The Appliance Recycling Group is offering a fully traceable solution for managing 28-day electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) returns. This service is designed specifically for retailers and commercial partners looking for a reliable, compliant route to handle returned goods responsibly, without compromising on traceability or environmental standards.
The process begins with businesses supplying returned electrical items – typically products that have been sent back within a 28-day window under customer satisfaction or change-of-mind policies. These items often remain in near-new condition but cannot legally or commercially be sold as brand new. Instead of letting them go to waste or accumulate in storage, The Appliance Recycling Group offers a circular route that turns returns into opportunity.
Every item entering the system is fully tracked and logged. Serial numbers, model information, and condition reports are recorded at every stage. This ensures complete traceability from the point of collection through to resale or recycling. Once received, the units undergo thorough safety and functionality testing to determine whether they are fit for reuse. Items that pass these tests are reintroduced into the marketplace through approved resale channels, supporting access to affordable electrical goods while helping businesses recover value from their returns. For consumers, this means access to quality-checked appliances at reduced prices – helping reduce unnecessary production and preventing perfectly usable items from becoming waste.
Units that fail to meet safety or performance standards are not discarded carelessly. Instead, they are passed on to The Appliance Recycling Group’s in-house recycling division, where they are dismantled, sorted, and processed in line with best practice and WEEE compliance. As a certified B Corp™, the company upholds the highest standards of environmental and social responsibility in everything it does, ensuring that no reusable materials are wasted and that hazardous components are handled safely. This dual-pathway approach—resale for viable goods and responsible recycling for end-of-life items – gives businesses a practical, ethical and fully auditable solution to EEE returns. It supports circular economy principles, boosts sustainability credentials, and reduces the cost and complexity of managing returned stock.
In a landscape where traceability, compliance and sustainability are increasingly non-negotiable, The Appliance Recycling Group offers a trusted partnership that turns returns into real-world impact.
