The
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) aims
to minimise the impact of electrical and electronic goods on the environment, by
increasing re-use and recycling and reducing the amount of WEEE going to
landfill. It seeks to achieve this by making producers responsible
for financing the collection, treatment, and recovery of waste electrical
equipment, and by obliging distributors to allow consumers to return their
waste equipment free of charge.
As a producer of Electrical and Electronic Equipment, Acco UK Ltd
(Acco) has already
- Identified which products fall within the Directive.
- Collated all the product data (volume and weight), for each EU
country, necessary to submit to the controlling bodies to establish
its recovery obligation.
- Complied with the WEEE product marking obligation by marking
all products manufactured from 13th August 2005, with the crossed out "Wheelie
Bin" symbol.
- Registered with Valpak’s Producer Compliance Scheme our "unique producer number" is WEE/HB0045SY
The following details will appear on this website as soon as they
are available
- Details on how to contact Valpak regarding the collection/disposal
