Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Returns
In the European Union (EU), waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is now subject to legislation designed to prevent the disposal of such waste and to encourage proper treatment measures to minimize the amount of waste ultimately disposed to landfill. The objective of EU WEEE Directive is to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment. In particular, the EU WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC (the WEEE Directive) requires that 'Producers' of electronic equipment be responsible for the collection, reuse, recycling and treatment of WEEE which the Producer places on the EU market after August 13, 2005. Belgravium Ltd, as an electronics producer, endeavours to meet these environmental responsibilities for managing WEEE. In doing so, Belgravium Ltd is providing the following information for its customers about Belgravium Ltd.'s WEEE collection process.
Take back Policy (UK)
To comply with the EU WEEE Directive, the UK government has implemented the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2006 (Statutory Instrument 2006 No. 3289). Belgravium Ltd is providing a product take back process to cover, treatment, recovery and disposal of all electrical and electronic equipment sold to our business customers (B2B) in the UK on and after August 13, 2005. Belgravium Ltd will also provide a take back process for 'like for like' electrical and electronic equipment as part of any new sales. ('Like for Like' is defined as any brand of equipment being replaced by new Belgravium Ltd equipment providing the same basic function). For example, a customer purchasing a new radio data terminal from Belgravium Ltd will be able to have their old radio data terminal disposed of by Belgravium Ltd.
