Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations (WEEE)
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations (WEEE)
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations (WEEE), EU Directive 2002/96/EC, were adopted into UK law on 2nd January 2007 with full implementation from 1st July 2007. These regulations require that electrical and electronic equipment, when being disposed of at the end of its useful life in a EU Member State, must be recycled and/or disposed of in accordance with the EU directive as it is applied in local laws of that State. These regulations go further by making the manufacturer or importer (the producer) of the goods responsible for their disposal/recycling in the correct manner.Although there are exemptions permitted within the regulations, particularly pertaining to contaminated and unsafe items, many of Labcold's products potentially fall within the scope of EU 2002/96/EC. Labcold recognises and accepts its obligations and further information regarding our Policy and Procedures can be found in the via the links below.
