WEEELite
Megaman UK Ltd and Weeeco are delighted to introduce WEEELite, an established producer compliance scheme designed to offer real choice in the recycling market, providing sustainable processes at a sensible price.
The introduction of the UK's WEEE legislation in January 2007 placed the obligation on producers of all electrical and electronic items to ensure environmentally sound disposal of their items when they become waste. In response to this, Megaman UK Ltd joined forces with WEEE recycler Weeeco to address the environmental performance and cost effectiveness of WEEE compliance in the UK.
WEEELite provides producers with the opportunity to join a scheme that demonstrates environmental sustainability, corporate social responsibility and cost effectiveness for both producers and end users.
The scheme has been successful in attracting companies from a broad spectrum of electronics industry producers, with a significant proportion in lighting equipment and refrigeration. In 2009 it was responsible for diverting over 1 million low energy light bulbs, 45 thousand fridges and a further 1000 tonnes of other electronic items from land fill.
Join the Weeelite scheme and we can guarantee to save you money from your first year! For more information about the scheme, visit www.weeelite.co.uk or telephone on 0191 423 6232.
