WEEE

WEEE regulations explained

Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is regulated to reduce the amount of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) incinerated or sent to landfill sites. Reduction is achieved through various measures which encourage the recovery, reuse and recycling of products and components. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013 is the underpinning UK legislation.

Who is responsible for WEEE compliance?

Businesses that:

  • manufacture and sell EEE under their own brand in the UK
  • resell equipment made by someone else under their own brand (if the maker’s brand appears on the equipment, it is the producer)
  • import EEE on a commercial basis into the UK
  • are established outside of the UK and supply EEE directly to the UK market by distance selling (for example online, mail order, by phone)

How do I comply?

You don’t have to!

Our obligations are:

  • to join a producer compliance scheme (PCS) that takes on the obligations to finance the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of household WEEE collected in the UK
  • ensure a ‘crossed out wheelie bin’ symbol is displayed on relevant products as per the BSI EN50419 standard (which includes additional info including positioning, visibility, dimensions, location and referenced documents)
