Responsibility as a producer of EEE
Hydro Systems Europe as a producer of EEE are registered with a producer compliance scheme who register them with
the relevant environmental regulator. Through the regulator they become part of an approved producer compliance scheme
(PCS).The PCS supply a unique and permanent producer registration number. If disposal is outsourced it (the product) must
be taken to an appropriately licensed site (approved authorized treatment facility - AATF) where it can be treated safely.
The environmental impacts of the substances in EEE and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
The main environmental concerns stem from soil and water contamination, resource depletion, energy use and waste.
At the production stage, obtaining raw material for EEE production consumes a large amount of energy, especially the
process of extracting resources, which can also lead to degradation of the surrounding environment. For instance, when raw
material is shipped to a plant, it goes through a complex, high energy-consuming process as it is converted into a finished
product. Moreover, as demand for fuel and raw materials increases with the increase in exports, the environmental impact of
these factors is also likely to increase.
The reasons for separating WEEE from other waste
Failing to separate waste properly can be very expensive as the majority of discarded products are shredded into small pieces
of material and re-sold as raw material – much of which ends up in the Far East and goes back into manufacturing. If the
hazardous components were not separated first the entire batch could be contaminated. This significantly increases the risk
of environmental damage and could lead to legal action under hazardous waste regulations.
The meaning of the crossed out wheeled bin symbol
The crossed out wheeled bin symbol is not intended to indicate to you that WEEE is banned from being disposed of as
general waste. Moreover, the intention behind the symbol is that, when coupled with information supplied by distributors as to
the availability of recycling facilities, you will be reminded that these facilities exist.
How they can safely dispose of WEEE for proper treatment?
When the product is at its end of life, either contact the Local Authority in charge of electrical disposal, or contact Hydro
Systems Europe who will either take the item back from yourself or supply you with relevant information for a local WEEE
treatment facility. If asked, Hydro Systems Europe must provide yourself business with:
•
Contact information for the EEE producer within Hydro Systems Europe. The producer’s compliance scheme is
responsible for the end-of-life handling of EEE.
•
Records that will help producers to supply their producer compliance scheme with accurate information, for example
numbers of sales of EEE to non-household users.
As a distributor Hydro Systems Europe have no legal obligation to take back WEEE from business users.
