WEEE Consultancy - Guidance & Advice

STRATECO is the leading consultancy advising multiple parties on the impacts and strategic implications of the WEEE legislation – ranging from the legislation scope, through how individual producers can minimise their obligations to how industry can pro-actively attain compliance in a competitive marketplace.

STRATECO's interest and participation in the wider Producer Responsibility field dates back to prior to the first UK producer responsibility legislation (the Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 1997) and we have achieved significant market advantage, using our knowledge of compliance scheme operations and recycling, for companies faced with those earlier challenges.

The Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) Regulations requires Producers of electrical and electronic products to pay for the treatment (including recycling) of WEEE. The primary purpose of the Regulations is the prevention of waste electrical and electronic equipment arisings and to require the re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery of such waste so as to reduce its disposal to landfill or incineration.

• STRATECO has skilled personnel, experienced in Producer Responsibility legislation compliance, logistics, recycling and end market development – we can guide you through the maze of legislation and advise you as to the best options for moving forward.
• Producers who supply predominantly into the business sector face significantly different issues from those supplying into the domestic sector. Business-to-Business Producers can fulfil their obligations under the WEEE Regulations through B2B Compliance a not-for-profit compliance scheme and an initiative of GAMBICA .
• STRATECO is an advisor to and facilities manager for B2B Compliance
• Producers who supply predominantly into the domestic sector have a different range of challenges and an alternative set of options – contact us for advice.
• Retailers have another range of obligations and a choice to make:
  • Be part of a Distributor Compliance Scheme
  • Meet their individual obligations
    • For those who choose this alternative we have a range of strategic and operational options including the use of Electro-bins™ and Electrobanks™
• STRATECO can advise you on the complexities of the WEEE legislation in the UK and throughout Europe, Product Scope, Product Marking, Registration, Data Collection, Obligations, Reporting, the financial implications, major stakeholders, Compliance as well as your options and solutions.
• Many companies believe that WEEE legislation is simply the packaging waste regulations all over again – nothing could be further from the truth! The issues are almost entirely strategic – rather than technical or operational.
