About Seek-it

Seek-it ltd was established in May 2000 with the remit to be prepared for the commercial, environmental and social impact of the WEEE Directive.

Our initial aim was to evolve safe and environmental friendly methods to recycle ‘End of Life’ electronic/electrical equipment (WEEE). In parallel, we developed a commercial IT collection/processing arm with a firm emphasis on tight security.

In 2004 Seek-it won the Small Business Category at the Hampshire Sustainable Business Awards. Our IT system also gained a thematic award for use of Innovation & Technology within the waste sector.

Later that year our management system gained ISO 9000 certification and our environmental processes for handling waste were awarded ISO 14001 accreditation.

In February 2005 we opened our first dedicated facility to treat WEEE in Hampshire. Our waste management licence was amongst the first ATF specific to be approved by the Enviroment Agency to handle WEEE in the UK.

Since then we have been involved in numerous projects within the WEEE sector which include:

  • Systems and processes to identify and recycle common plastic types used in the contruction of EEE.
  • Development of resources to aid the recognition, safe removal and storage of hazardous materials used in the manufacture of EEE
  • Segregation, treatment and recording of WEEE from HWRC
  • Developing skill sets required for safe, manual demanufacture of WEEE

Robust accountability, a reliable ‘on demand’ service and commitment that firmly rejects landfill as a disposal route has attracted an impressive, expanding customer list.
