WEEE Compliance
In 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. 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 electrical and electronic equipment.
All obligated producers must register with a compliance scheme (like the one operated by Shields Environmental) or risk prosecution. Shields are an Approved Authorised Treatment Facility (AATF) and an Approved Exporter (AE).
We have developed the ideal solution to help businesses in the UK meet their WEEE obligations easily and effectively. As specialists in the reuse and recycling of IT, Telecoms and Computing equipment Shields is the ideal partner to ensure compliance with this important piece of legislation.
