Green Eagle was the brainchild of Michael Ojo-Osagie, who worked in the mobile telecoms industry for many years. There he developed a thorough understanding of the issues surrounding recycling and saw the damage waste electrical equipment was doing to the environment.
Since the government’s WEEE directives, we now know some 1.8m tonnes of electrical waste is being sent to landfill every year.
From this experience, and as a father and concerned citizen, he became passionate about the environment and was increasingly disturbed about the damage being done. He felt even more could be achieved than by basic recycling, where equipment is broken up with some materials recovered and the rest sent to landfill. This passion led him to set up Green Eagle.
With the advantage of an upbringing that saw him spend time both in the UK and Africa, he saw the potential and importance of a business that was both ethical and profitable.
When Green Eagle takes electrical waste that may otherwise end up in landfill, it repairs, tests and redistributes that equipment to schools, developing businesses and charities that are in need.
As a company Green Eagle sponsors BOAT (Banner over African Troubles) and is setting up a scheme (www.the-boat.org.uk) to create awareness of the issues.
Green Eagle’s reuse and recycle ethic offers the most effective way in which you can eliminate waste, protect the environment and make a real difference to developing communities.
Green Eagle is in compliance with the environmental agency.
