Between 2009 and 2012, the European Union (EU) funded an aptly-titled project called the Recovery of Electronic Waste through Advanced Recycling and Demonstration (REWARD). Although, the project has concluded, electronics recycling and recovery is an ongoing task in many recycling plants. Stephen Harding, Managing Director of Gough Engineering, explains how recycling plant managers can improve electronics recovery and reap the rewards.

In order to manufacture components for its Swinglink range of bucket conveyors in the UK, materials handling company Gough Engineering has invested in high quality, high pressure injection moulds. The decision allows the Staffordshire based company to improve moulds using the latest technology, protect future supplies and secure UK manufacturing costs given the varying exchange rates after recent political events.
