Are you obligated under WEEE?
Friday November 03 2006
The EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive will soon come into force in the UK. Any producer, importer or distributor of electrical and electronic equipment in the UK has obligations. If you are obligated, you will have to finance the treatment, recovery and disposal of hazardous WEEE from 1st April 2007 and all other WEEE from 1st July 2007.
Want to know if you’re obligated?
Use our quick and simple online tool to find out now.
If obligated, you will need to register with an approved compliance scheme to meet your obligations and supply data on how much EEE you place on the market each calendar year. You also need to say whether you supplied the equipment for household or business use. You will get a WEEE producer registration number that you will need to give to anyone who distributes or sells your equipment. You will also need to mark your products with a crossed out wheelie bin from 1st April 2007. If you fail to comply you will be breaking the law and may be liable to a fine.
