Exertis (UK) Ltd meets the definition of a producer under the WEEE Regulations, requiring us to ensure compliance with these Regulations. Businesses who place electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) on the UK market for the first time by importing, manufacturing, rebranding or distance selling are considered producers under the regulations.

The UK WEEE Regulations were first introduced in 2007 with the aim of reducing the amount of EEE ending up in landfill and making producers responsible for collecting, treating and recovery of waste electrical equipment.  In accordance with the Regulations, Exertis (UK) provides arrangements for the recovery and recycling of WEEE when it reaches the end of its life, and we ensure our EEE products are marked accordingly with a crossed- out wheelie bin symbol.

Exertis (UK) Ltd complies with its responsibilities as a registered member of UK Government approved ERP UK WEEE Compliance Scheme.  The scheme takes on the producer’s legal compliance and works with them to ensure all necessary steps have been taken to achieve compliance, including data submissions to the Environment Agency and procurement of recycling evidence.

Exertis (UK) Ltd’s WEEE producer registration number is WEE/FC0234YV

We all have a part to play in reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill sites.

FAQs

Why recycle unwanted electrical equipment?

Unwanted electrical equipment is the UK’s fastest growing type of waste. Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and human health

What does the crossed-out wheelie bin symbol mean?

The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol is there to remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with the crossed out wheelie bin symbol) in your bin. Instead, you can take it to your local Recycling Centre. For more information on your local recycling facilities visit www.recyclenow.com
