WEEE depollution — removing hazardous components from equipment
In plain English

What is printer recycling?

Printer recycling is the WEEE-compliant disposal of inkjet, laser, and multifunction devices, with toner, cartridges, fusers, and drums separated and treated so they never contaminate the recycling stream. TFix recycles printers at its licensed UK facility in Mitcham with full Waste Transfer Notes.

What You Get

Every Asset Logged. Every Step Documented.

The same verified foundations on every project — documented, traceable, and UK-only.

1. Licensed WEEE recycling

Printers and MFPs are recycled through our Environment Agency licensed facility, with toners, cartridges, and hazardous components handled correctly.

2. Toner & cartridge handling

Consumables are removed and treated separately so they never contaminate the recycling stream.

3. Full compliance documentation

Waste Transfer Notes and an environmental report for every collection, ready for your records.

UK chain of custody. No offshore brokering.

Every asset is logged by serial number, transported under chain of custody by our Environment Agency registered carrier, and processed at our licensed UK facility in Mitcham — never sold on to an untracked offshore broker.

Certifications & Compliance

Compliance You Can Verify

We lead with paperwork, not promises. Every registration below is independently checkable, and every project is delivered against recognised UK standards.

Certification vs alignment: the table lists the registrations and certifications TFix holds and can evidence. References to ISO 27001 elsewhere on this site describe alignment with its information-security principles, not certification.

Standards we work to

  • NIST SP 800-88 Rev.2— Media sanitisation standard governing secure erase and physical destruction.
  • NCSC Secure Sanitisation Guidance— Current UK government guidance on secure sanitisation and disposal of storage media (replaces the withdrawn HMG IA Standard 5).
  • UK GDPR & Data Protection Act 2018— Legal basis for evidenced, auditable destruction of personal data.
  • WEEE Regulations— Environmental compliance for waste electrical and electronic equipment.

Need our paperwork for an RFP or audit?

We can supply our registrations, insurance certificates, and sample destruction outputs as part of your supplier due diligence.
