Environ has developed a web-based approach that provides the B2B producer with flexibility and control of future WEEE recycling arrangements.

The EC Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive was implemented in Germany as the ElektroG Act All producers of electrical and electronic equipment in Germany were required to register with the Elektro-Altgeraete Register (EAR) by 24th November 2005

Producers who are not registered with the EAR are prohibited from putting electrical and electronic equipment on the market in Germany.

According to regulatory tracking consultant Perchards, by February 2006 a total of 4225 producers had registered in Germany.

The next deadline that producers of business products must meet is to provide collection and recycling of WEEE arising from new product sales from 23rd March 2006.
