WEEE requirements in the United Kingdom
The UK WEEE Regulations require all manufacturers and importers of affected electrical and electronic equipment in the UK to join an approved WEEE Producer Compliance Scheme, provide arrangements for the management of WEEE and provide their registration number to distributors.
We run the first fully approved scheme for Business-to-Business Producers in the UK, B2BWEEE-Scheme.

Collection and recycling obligations for B2B WEEE
Under the UK Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations, for equipment that is bought after August 2005, the producer is required to finance the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of WEEE that the purchase replaces, on a one-for-one, like-for-like basis. The old equipment that the new purchase replaces is referred to as Historic WEEE.
Under the regulations, the producer is also required to finance the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of any new electrical and electronic equipment that is bought after August 2005, when that new equipment eventually becomes waste. This is referred to as New WEEE.
