The Green Value Chain Our story begins in Japan:
8
The WEEE Directive Reduce Re-use Recover Recycle Not forgetting that the directive also asks to improve the environmental performance of equipment over its lifecycle
9
The WEEE Directive
10
Transported Round the Country
11
To be Processed
12
Mechanically
13
Re-use
14
Or Recycling
15
WEEE ( Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) A Cost Cost to Handle Cost to Process Cost to Landfill An Opportunity A New Green Value Chain
16
Prisons?
17
The Learning Light Project Training offenders in recycling Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Trialled in HMPs Wealstun and Everthorpe In response to the Recycling Industry learning requirements
18
To Do This
19
By e-learning
20
The Project Set up workshops to carry out the disassembly of waste electrical and electronic equipment. To skill up offenders to carry out these tasks using energy efficient techniques To harness the power of e-learning to deliver the skills required To offer a meaningful work experience To provide a qualification for the learners
21
Leading to…. Employment opportunities on release in an expanding market Less likelihood of re-offending and incidentally…… Major environmental benefits: Carbon saving of: 450.2394tpa in a 4mth period An inkjet printer weighing 7kg reduced to 1g of waste to landfill
22
The Results Enhanced learning experience Increased ICT skills Meaningful work while in prison Understanding of environmental issues Delivering almost 99% reuse or recycle Massive savings in product sent to landfill A work based qualification Job opportunity in an industry set to expand exponentially
23
Delivering So Much More……….. WEEE Directive Reuse Recover Recycle WEEE HM Prison Service Workshop Meaningful Work and Valuable Learning Employment Opportunity NVQ Recycling Operations (WEEE) / Accredited Learning CIWM & EU Skills Less Waste To Landfill Reducing Re-offending Delivering So much more than a Tick in a Box
24
The Qualification First of its kind e-learning based Maps an NVQ to a mandatory regulation NVQ level 1,2 (and 3) mapped to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (The WEEE directive) Delivers practical work based skills to meet a regulatory requirement by using e-learning and hands on work
25
Learning to Work The e-learning delivers: Health and safety Team working Understanding of the WEEE directive and environmental issues Quizzes to test understanding
26
Learning to Disassemble Practical techniques shown Recognition skills – Plastics and Metals Instructional modules: Computer base stations Printers CRTs Street Lighting
27
The Endorsement Industry led learning Accredited by the Chartered Institute of Wastes Management (CIWM) Listed as part of the UK learning portfolio by Industry qualification awarding body WAMITAB Supported by the industries technical steering group Encouraged by DeFRA, WRAP, EU- Skills, NOMS and Yorkshire Forward
28
The Flexibility of the e-learning Fully accessible – pictorial, text and audio Letting learners control their own learning Easily updated Easy and cost effective to deploy CD rom delivery VLE/LMS delivery over the internet PC or Thin client - intranet SCORM compliant – meets all standards
29
The Learning Developed with leading subject matter experts e-learning – blended with workplace assessment Very cost effective The ‘e’ in e-learning is for ‘e’nvironmental
