Huh, really?
Do you realise what valuable materials your tools contain? They’re all precious raw materials that can be reused.
It really matters
What kind of tools are we talking about? It’s simple: anything with a plug and a cable is an electrical tool or garden tool.
- electrical lawn mower
- wood chipper
- hedge trimmer
- steam cleaner
- and so on.
As well as all those electrical tools that every DIY fan has in the shed:
- drill
- compressor
- plane
- sander
- welder
- grinder
- electric saw
- and so on.
Here’s a tip if you can’t sleep: count all the unused tools in Belgium.
Electric saws: more than 340,000 Sanders: 780,000. Hedge trimmers: 480,000. Drills: another half million... It’s incredible how many devices are dreaming of a new life after recycling! All the homes in the country actually form one big urban mine.
