• 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
