What is WEEE?
What is WEEE?
The Landfill (England and Wales) Regulations were enacted in 2002 to address the environmental repercussions of landfill disposal. Consequently, specific hazardous wastes may be restricted from direct disposal in landfills without undergoing proper treatment.
As a producer of electrical or electronic equipment (EEE), your responsibilities are outlined under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations. The WEEE Directive, effective since January 2007, seeks to reduce the production of electrical and electronic equipment and encourages businesses to adopt practices of reuse, recycling, and recovery. The Directive aims to enhance the environmental performance of entities involved in the manufacture, supply, use, recycling, and recovery of such equipment.
Under the WEEE Directive, every organization is obligated to responsibly dispose of their electrical and electronic waste. Mesh Waste Services is here to offer cost-effective, reliable, and hassle-free solutions, ensuring that businesses and communities meet their obligations under the WEEE Directive responsibly.
Do you have to comply with the WEEE Regulations? If your product relies on electricity for its primary function, it likely falls under the WEEE Regulations, which you must comply with. These regulations apply to electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) that depends on electric currents or electromagnetic fields, has a voltage rating not exceeding 1,000V for alternating current and 1,500V for direct current, and falls into one of the 10 categories outlined in Schedule 1 to the WEEE Regulations. Exclusions exist; refer to the finished product list with 14 categories for clarification.
How do the WEEE regulations affect me? If you are an importer, re-brander, or manufacturer of new electrical or electronic equipment, compliance with the UK’s WEEE Regulations is likely necessary. In such cases, joining a producer compliance scheme is a requirement, and Mesh Waste Services can provide more information.
Additional Obligations Businesses dealing with electrical or electronic equipment waste requiring safe disposal, or those involved in the sale of such equipment, may have additional obligations under the WEEE Regulations. Mesh Waste Services is committed to helping you adhere to these rules and regulations, ensuring that all your WEEE is reused, treated, and recycled responsibly.
