International producer compliance
Similar to the UK WEEE Regulations, the WEEE Directive regulates the handling, disposal and recycling of electrical waste across the EU. Each EU member state has enacted their own national law to bring the WEEE Directive into force. Companies placing Electrical or Electronic Equipment (EEE) on the market in any European country must ensure they comply with the producer responsibility legislation that applies in that country.
A similar position exists in relation to Batteries and Packaging, although this is not in force in every country currently.
As a member of Ecogenesys, you have access to PRONEXA who will guide you through the complexities of the requirements with their tailored consultancy services.
How can PRONEXA help?
Importers and manufacturers of electronic and electrical equipment (EEE) are required to register as producers with the relevant national EU authorities. Each country in Europe has implemented the WEEE Directive in a different way, and some are in the process of implementing extended producer responsibility (EPR). Similar requirements operate in most countries for batteries and packaging too.
Removing the complexities of compliance across all European countries, PRONEXA offers producers with one point of contact to discuss their European Battery, Packaging and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) compliance requirements.
