As part of our obligations under WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive we offer a collection scheme to help our customers dispose of their old FLAVIA machines responsibly. FLAVIA machines are collected and brought back to our machine factory for valeting. Machine parts are then re-used in new machines or saved as spare parts wherever possible to help maximise efficiency.
If machines cannot be re-used then we are able to recycle the plastic casing in the machine as well as extracting the precious metals such as copper and goal from the electrical components. At the moment we recycle an estimated 95% of the machine. In addition to this, we also have a process to recycle the wooden base units.
We are continually working with our recycling partners to find solutions to enable us to recycle other components of the FLAVIA machines.
