IT Manufacturers

As a manufacturer of Electrical or Electronic equipment (EEE), if you are selling or supplying your product within the EU you will soon have to meet your obligations under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive as a Producer.

The directive is expected to come into force in early 2006. As such, under this directive, you may have to take the responsibility for the recycling of both new equipment produced after the 13th August 2005, and old equipment produced before this date where you have replaced it with "like for like" products.

Producers are responsible for financing the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of WEEE. These requirements are called 'producer responsibility' and they apply to both household and non-household WEEE, although alternative financial arrangements can be made for non-household WEEE. The government has said it will implement these producer responsibility obligations from January 2006.

Whether you need advice or assistance in setting up an in-house remarketing or recycling scheme, or looking to contract out your recycling needs or need help in selecting the best "Compliance Scheme" for your business, Selway Moore can help.
