WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, a European Union Directive aimed at managing the recycling and disposal of electronic waste. If you’re placing electronic products in Europe, compliance is mandatory. Failure to comply can lead to fines, restrictions on sales, or even damage to your company’s reputation.
¨WEEE¨ stands for ¨waste electric and electronic equipment¨ and refers to end of life electric or electronic equipment. WEEE can range from old or broken mobile phones, washing machines or laptops (these would be considered household WEEE) to servers, automatic dispensers or radiotherapy equipment (these would be considered professional WEEE). In the United States and several other countries it is known as e-waste (electronic waste).
That will depend on how you sell your products. In general, if you sell directly to end users you will be obligated to register as a producer. If you sell through resellers based in the EU you may not have to register as a producer (in that case, your resellers would need to complete the registration). We can help you identify your obligations (taking into account your sales arrangements) and find out whether your resellers are compliant with WEEE regulations.
If you have obligations as a WEEE producer and your products contain batteries, then it’s very likely you will also have obligations as a battery producer in the EU countries where you sell your products.
The new Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 and the associated national laws issued by the 27 EU Member States intend to contribute to the protection and preservation of the environment by minimizing the negative impact of waste batteries and accumulators.
Requirements to comply with EU Battery laws are similar to those for WEEE. They include registering as a producer with National Registers, reporting put on market and recycling quantities, providing information to end users and financing and organizing the take-back and recycling of waste batteries and accumulators.
Products covered by WEEE include six different categories:
We’ll conduct a detailed review of your product range to determine if they fall under WEEE requirements and identify the specific countries where compliance is necessary.
Absolutely. Each EU country has its own WEEE regulations, and we take care of registrations and reporting across all of them. Our team provides a unified, streamlined solution tailored to your business needs.
If your products include electronic components, batteries, or packaging, it’s likely that all three regulations apply. We’ll evaluate your specific products and target markets to confirm which obligations are relevant for your business.
The timeline depends on your product range and the number of countries involved. We work efficiently to get you compliant as quickly as possible.
Non-compliance with WEEE, Batteries, and Packaging regulations can result in financial penalties, restrictions on selling your products in European markets, and damage to your brand reputation. By working with us, you can eliminate these risks and ensure your business stays fully compliant.
