BCU Raises £1514.42 for Birmingham & Solihull Women’s Aid Through Ethical IT Recycling

The collaboration between Birmingham City University (BCU) and SE Recycling continues to highlight the power of sustainability.

SE Recycling, a specialist in the ethical collection and processing of redundant IT equipment, recently supported BCU in raising £1514.42 for charity. This was made possible through the responsible recycling of the University’s outdated IT and electronic assets.

The funds were generously donated to Birmingham & Solihull Women’s Aid (BSWA), an organisation that has spent over four decades supporting women and children affected by domestic violence and abuse. BCU’s decision to donate their rebate to BSWA reflects their deep commitment to community welfare and social responsibility. This contribution plays a valuable role in helping BSWA continue its vital work, advocating for the rights of women and children to live free from fear and harm.

Simon Chow, IT Collections Manager at SE Recycling, shared his thoughts on the ongoing partnership: “As we pass the fifth year in our collaboration with BCU, it stands as a true testament to the great work that can be achieved between industry and academia. It also emphasises the positive influence recycling can have not only on environmental sustainability but also on enriching the local community.”

This initiative is a shining example of how sustainable practices can be harnessed for positive change. SE Recycling encourages other organisations to follow BCU’s lead by donating redundant IT equipment or supporting local fundraising efforts.

Andes Mountains Hydro Power - Chile

Located in the Tinguiririca River upper valley, this Hydroelectric project is around 120km south of Santiago, Chile. Known as La Confluencia, the 163 MW run of river hydro power plant utilizes the hydrological resources of the Tinguiririca, Portillo and Azufre Rivers, in a run of river scheme to generate and supply zero emission energy to the Chilean central electricity grid (SIC). The power plant generates certified emission reductions (CERs) by displacing electricity generation from grid connected fossil fuel-fired power plants that would otherwise be generating electricity.

Environmental Sustainability

The primary objective of the proposed project is to help meet Chile’s rising demand for energy due to its economic growth and to improve the supply of electricity, while contributing to the environmental, social (job creation in the construction phase, and infrastructure enhancements in surrounding municipalities) and economic sustainability by increasing renewable energy’s share on the Chilean electricity consumption. The Project activity improves the supply of electricity with clean, renewable hydroelectric power while contributing to the regional/local economic development.

Social Development

Through the “Tinguiririca Participa” grant program, the project directly finances proposals presented by community organisation, in areas such as healthcare, education, and social change. In the first year of the program, the joint venture financed 11 projects, while today the number of projects surpasses 200. All of these initiatives are aimed at meeting community needs.

Flora and Fauna

In addition to social projects, reforestation of around 120 hectares around the site has been implemented, helping protect and improve the local flora and fauna, with a specific impact on local Tricahue Parrot, Torrent Duck, Freshwater Catfish, Torrent Duck and Freshwater Catfish species.
