9 WEEE compliance

9.1 Our WEEE obligation for products sold into the industrial and commercial market (also known as Business to Business WEEE or B2B WEEE) entails registering with a compliance scheme and providing an end-of-life recycling solution.  As commercial and industrial products are sold into the UK market to end-users directly or via distributors this usually means that our products move beyond our reach for economically providing collection and recycling. Furthermore, we consider it inappropriate to cover the cost of recycling by adding this to the purchase price of products. We believe that it is simpler and fairer for the actual costs to be met by end users when products reach their end-of-life.  Hence, we legally transfer the obligation to dispose of any WEEE products in a legal and responsible manner to our customer.

We have agreed with Valpak Ltd for them to provide our compliance scheme.  Valpak can also be contacted directly to arrange for recycling services.
