WEEE compliance systems prove popular
Demand for Environ's web systems for managing collection and recycling of business-to-business WEEE across Europe continues to grow
Last week Environ celebrated building its 15th WEEE website, taking the total number of companies who have benefited from Environ's WEEE and RoHS compliance services to more than 100. The majority of clients are located in the USA, Canada and Israel, with the remainder spread across Europe.

WEEE producer compliance scheme opens for business
Environ's B2BWEEE-scheme is now open for member registration, which will give business-to-business producers the opportunity to join well before the 15th March 2007 deadline
According to Dr Aidan Turnbull, Head of Environ's WEEE, RoHS and Eco-Design practice: 'Companies want to use our system because it provides a single contract to manage producer registration, in-country recycling, and compliance reporting in all member states, and straightforward collection arrangements, which they can communicate to business end-users through their own company website'.
'Our web service also includes consultancy advice on all aspects of the WEEE Directive, including assessment of legal responsibilities for WEEE compliance in different member states, producer registration timescales and requirements, recycling instructions, and product marking'.
Environ's WEEE web system provides companies with significant business benefits.
The system offers a single corporate solution that can be expanded to cover other countries (eg USA, Canada, Japan, China, Korea etc).
It achieves significant savings over joining compliance schemes in each member state.
It includes the option to gain further savings by passing collection costs on to business end-users.
It presents website address below crossed-out wheelie bin on the product to signpost end-users and treatment facilities to WEEE information.
The system provides flexibility and control of future WEEE recycling arrangements, enabling companies to: ensure that recyclers continue to provide competitive rates for their services; and change recyclers in individual member states to take advantage of new recycling technologies and techniques.
The system also enables companies to gain a competitive advantage with resellers who import into member states (and who may therefore have a legal responsibility to register as a WEEE producer and provide WEEE collection and recycling).
And it demonstrates to customers that the company is compliant with the WEEE Directive and has addressed its environmental responsibilities.
