'In order to establish what the WEEE Man is made from we took the percentage of each household WEEE arising in the UK* by weight under each of the 10 categories covered by the WEEE
Directive, and aggregated this across the 3.3 tonnes of the WEEE Man.'
'For instance – 69% of Household WEEE arising by weight in the UK comes
from Large Household Appliances – cookers, washing machines etc.
Therefore the predominant weight of WEEE in the WEEE Man is large
household appliances. Consumer Equipment (i.e. Hi Fi ) accounts for
13%, 8% Small Household appliances such as vacuum cleaners, 7% IT &
telecommunications (mobile phones) and so on.'
