Professional and Cost Effective compliance services.

WEEE won't disappoint.

What is WEEE Compliance?The WEEE Directive was introduced in 2005. The directive was for producers of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electric Equipment), to take responsibility for the WEEE they produce. If you are a producer of EEE (Electronic and Electrical Equipment) and place more than of five tonnes of EEE per annum into the UK market, you are legally required to join a compliance scheme. The aim is to reduce the amount of this type of waste stream as well as encouraging recycling and re-use. There is also an ongoing aim to find more environmentally friendly ways of production.

We have our own Approved Authorised Treatment Facility and our own on-site facilities to collect and treat WEEE.

Weee.co Compliance are a part of XPO Group which includes XPO IT Services Ltd, who are an AATF with 16 years experience in the disposal and recycling of WEEE waste; this gives us the knowledge and expertise to handle all your compliance needs and help reduce your waste.

What is an AATF?An AATF is a licensed ATF site that carries out treatment on waste electrical and electronic waste; this would include activities including depollution, disassembly, shredding and preparation for disposal.

Only operators of Approved Authorised Treatment Facilities can issue evidence notes for treatment, recovery or the recycling of WEEE - Being an AATF means that XPO can issue such evidence notes to show that a certain tonnage and category of WEEE has been re-used, recycled or recovered by them.

These evidence notes are a requirement of all Compliance Schemes and customers who will need to prove this information to the Environment Agency. Evidence of re-use and refurbishment of whole appliances will also count towards the recovery and recycling targets. If you are an operator of operate a facility which collects whole items for re-use and refurbishment, for example computers or large household items such as fridges, washing machines or cookers, and you operate under a waste management licence or exemption, you can apply to become an AATF. This will then allow you to issue evidence of re-use to compliance schemes and their producers.

We aim to reduce cost of compliance

by providing a complete one stop shop solution.

Producers The producer places the electrical or electronic equipment onto the market in the UK. If you place 5 tonnes or more onto the UK market in any year, you are required to join a PCS. As a producer you have obligations for both the EEE sold by you as well as the financing of the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of WEEE.

You are a producer if you: –•Manufacture under your own brand•Re brand EEE produced from other suppliers, where the supplier has not placed its’ own brand.•Import EEE into the UK on a commercial basis – if a consumer/business purchases and item of EEE abroad and brings it back to the UK for personal use, they are not a producer.

It is possible for companies to be both producers and distributors.Distributors are responsible for offering a household user a facility for the return of WEEE. This also includes internet sales. They are also under responsibility to provide details to all their customers about the take back schemes available to them.If you are a distributor you have two options. Either offer in store take-back free of charge, or join the Distributor take back scheme. The DTS exempts you from offering in store take – back, but there is a fee. Either way, you must inform your customers and display in store or online information on environmental issues relating to WEEE, as well as the options for the recycling of their WEEE.The regulatory body for distributors’ obligations is the Vehicle Certification Authority. The VCA have provided a guide to all take back options available to distributors here.

There are also useful links and templates available on the website for the information that should be supplied to customers.

As a distributor records must be kept of any WEEE taken back must be kept for at least four years.

WEEE & Recycling

We can produce evidence notes that you are required to supply to your compliance scheme. Please see below for details of our compliance services.

We have an emphasis on re-use here at XPO; however some items are past the stage of refurbishment and have to be recycled.

As an Authorised Approved Treatment Facility (AATF) we can handle and process all 14 categories of WEEE.

Excess InventoryWe can manage your need to sell your products to your customers. We can cater for all electrical and electronic products, allowing you to sell direct to the customer, without the hassle of setting up and managing several online platforms.

Increase your selling platforms without any hassle, access more customers and sell to them directly. This is great for excess & EOL stock inventory.

E-Tail Managed SolutionsWe can purchase surplus stock and take it off your hands. We will then sell it on for you, ensuring maximum return on these items.

We can work with you to tailor your requirements for this surplus stock, we determine a resale price with you, whether you want to sell at a lower cost quickly, or higher cost over a longer period of time.

Producer Compliance Scheme ServicesIf you are an importer, a manufacturer or you sell equipment that is dependent of electricity or electronics for its main function, (excluding domestic lighting) this is classed as EEE, you are therefore likely to be a B2B, B2C or B2B/B2C producer and need to be a member of a Producer Compliance Scheme.

We aim to reduce the cost of compliance by providing a complete one stop shop solution. (Our PCS Services will be trading under WEEE.co Compliance). As an AATF (Approved Authorised Treatment Facility) we have our own on site facilities to collect, weigh, categorise and treat WEEE. For more information about PCS Services and how we could reduce your costs please contact us.
