Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive

 

Background
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) 2006 legislation aims to minimise the impact of electrical and electronic equipment on the environment, both during the products' lifetime and when they become waste. It sets criteria for the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of waste electrical and electronic equipment.

Electrical and electronic waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the UK. Around 1.8 million tonnes are generated every year. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations aim to reduce the amount of this waste going to landfill and improve recovery and recycling rates.

 

Compliance
Frame Communications is fully compliant with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2006. As such we are a member of the compliance scheme (Scheme Approval Number WEE\MP3538PZ\SCH ), which handles our WEEE obligations on our behalf, and our Producer Registration Number is WEE/BH0749YY.

 

End of Life
Equipment that is not in use and that will not be used in the future can be deemed to be end of life by its legal owners. For equipment purchased from Frame Communications on or after the 13th August 2005 that the owner has decided is end of life Frame Communications is responsible for the collection, treatment and environmentally sound disposal.

In addition if you are to purchase a new piece of equipment from Frame Communications that is to replace a ‘like for like’ piece of equipment purchased before 13th August 2005, regardless of whether the equipment was purchased from Frame Communications or not then we will arrange for the safe disposal of this equipment
