I doubt it, the used electronics/appliances market in the UK is huge. And other EU countries import refurbished products from the UK, as well. I worked for a big recycling company, there's no shortage of suppliers and customers, even though Brexit scared away a lot of them, they simply have no alternative closer to home. Selling the parts out of appliances/electronics is just as profitable, by the way. And there's a big market for them in the EU, thanks to the many small repair shops. One washing machine can either be sold as a refurb, or stripped down for parts for about the same resale cost. Same for laptops, desktops of course, and even smartphones. Eastern Europe is a good market, along with western Europe, but only the latter is a good location for a recycling/reuse factory, as it's got the largest number of possible suppliers.
