On the 2 January 2007 the UK Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Regulations came into force. WEEE is a new piece of producer responsibility legislation
which aims to reduce the amount of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) ending
up in landfill. Instead the regulations require the collection, treatment, recycling
and environmentally sound disposal of WEEE. The regulations affect all brand owners,
importers and distributors or retailers of EEE.
The WEEE Regulations require producers of EEE to finance the recycling costs
of EEE at its end-of-life. All obligated producers must register with a WEEE compliance
scheme or risk prosecution.

their WEEE obligations, which will not sacrifice the responsibility and assurances
you require as a business. Our technical expertise and complete range of services
