Peter Curran Electric Ltd scooped the award for “Best Performing Branch” for lighting recycling at Ireland’s second Association of Electric Wholesalers (AEW) awards in Dublin recently.
Sponsored by Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Ireland, the awards celebrated the best performers in lighting recycling across AEW’s 130 members in Ireland last year.
Peter Curran Electric Ltd Galway was recognised for its green, sustainable business practices for recycling waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in 2023.
“We are thrilled to be recognised for our commitment to recycling waste lighting from our customers” said Tommy Curran of Peter Curran Electric Ltd Galway. “This award is a significant morale boost for our team and reaffirms our dedication to making a positive environmental impact, no matter how small.”
A total of 14 lighting recycling recognition awards were handed out across the six wholesale trade buying groups that form the AEW, with two awards presented per group for Best Performing Branch and Most Improved Branch.
“WEEE Ireland is proud to continue its partnership with the lighting industry, particularly AEW members, to provide environmentally positive solutions for the takeback and recycling of waste lighting materials” said Leo Donovan, CEO, WEEE Ireland.
Recycling lighting waste ensures that any harmful substances are removed safely and the valuable raw materials used in the production of these items can be recycled and given a new lease of life, supporting the circular economy.
