Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive)
With effect from July 2007, the UK’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations requires that all producers of electrical equipment actively assist in delivery of a UK wide WEEE collection infrastructure and encourage the participation of consumers in recycling electronic equipment.
In order to our assist customers in remembering that electronic goods can be recycled and therefore should not be placed in the general waste, all Paperchase products of this type are now marked with a crossed out wheelie bin symbol.
As part of our continued commitment to recycling and protecting the environment, Paperchase has joined the Distributor Take Back Scheme (DTS). The DTS is a Government initiative designed to minimise the disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) to landfill and to achieve high levels of collection of WEEE for environmentally sound disposal.
By joining the scheme Paperchase is contributing to the establishment of a network of Designated Collection Facilities (DCF) where consumers may dispose of their WEEE free of charge for recycling and treatment in an ecologically sound manner. Because of our membership of the DTS scheme Paperchase will not accept returns of household WEEE instore and cannot accept WEEE returns for recycling, neither will we make arrangements for its collection.
You can find your nearest DCF recycling points and helpful recycling tips for electrical goods by visiting www.recycle-more.co.uk
The development of this new directive will help to ensure that electrical and electronic equipment will be treated and disposed of in an environmentally sound way, dramatically reducing the amounts of electrical and electronic waste going to landfill.
