- In addition to the requirements
detailed above, B2B Producers have other obligations in respect of
non-household (or B2B) WEEE in the following circumstances:
- Where the producer puts EEE onto the UK B2B
market after 13 August 2005, and when this EEE is subsequently
discarded as waste by a business user in the UK, the producer
must finance collection, treatment, recycling and recovery and
environmentally sound disposal of this EEE
- Where the producer sells EEE to replace EEE
for non-household use that was put on the UK market prior to
13th August 2005 (by him or another producer), the producer must
finance collection, treatment, recycling and recovery and environmentally
sound disposal of the EEE being discarded
- In these circumstances, the producers’ obligations
are to:
- finance the costs of collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally
sound disposal of the WEEE for which they have responsibility, according
to the requirements of the Regulations;
- report evidence (via its PCS) to the appropriate environment agency to
show that they have complied with the Regulations
- The WEEE Regulations do not prevent any producer,
or business end user making their own contractual arrangements
provided these arrangements will ensure the WEEE is correctly
treated and reprocessed
- For example, a Producer may want to continue
to arrange the treatment and reprocessing of WEEE from his customers.
This is allowed, provided that the WEEE is dealt with in accordance
with the WEEE Regulations in relation to the treatment recycling & recovery
and environmentally sound disposal of the WEEE
- The Producer must still supply their PCS with
all relevant sales data on a quarterly basis and ensure all evidence
of treatment and reprocessing is passed to the PCS to enable
it to submit a Declaration of Compliance at the end of each compliance
period
