Over 200 million waste electrical items have been saved from landfill in Ireland since 2005 through an "impressive" recycling operation.
The partnership between the country’s e-waste recycling scheme WEEE Ireland and family-owned KMK Metals is said to have resulted in less mining as vital materials extracted from the waste are reused.
Together they have collected and recycled more than half a million tonnes of electrical waste - the equivalent of 69 Eiffel Towers.
