WEE regulations come into force
December
2006 — High Wycombe (UK): By March 2007, all producers (any business
that manufactures, imports or rebrands electrical or electronic
equipment) will need to join an approved producer compliance scheme to
ensure that they are able to comply with the Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive from 1 July 2007.Those
that sell electrical and electronic equipment to consumers have a
choice of how they meet their obligations under the directive by either
joining the Distributor Take Back Scheme (DTS), which Valpak Retail
WEEE Services has been appointed to operate, or offer in-store take
back.However those that sell electrical and electronic equipment to
business end users have no statutory obligation under the regulations.More
information about how the WEEE Directive will affect the office
products industry is available in the Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment and the Office Products Industry document, which can be
downloaded from the BOSS members’ area at http://www.bossfederation.co.ukAt
the end of January the BOSS Environment Committee is holding a meeting
where several Producer Compliance Schemes are going to be invited to
attend and give presentations about their offerings. They will also be
asked a number of questions from an industry perspective and the
findings from this will form another briefing document that will also
be posted on the website. Members will be informed once the document
has been produced.
