WEEE producer compliance scheme opens for business
Environ's B2BWEEE-scheme is now open for member registration, which will give business-to-business producers the opportunity to join well before the 15th March 2007 deadline.
Producer compliance scheme is ready for WEEE
Environ has set up a producer compliance scheme for business-to-business WEEE in the UK.
Clements has 39 years experience in the electronics and communications industries and specialises in European environmental product legislation and eco-design of electronics and wireless products.
In particular, he has 10 years experience in advising clients in the electronics, wireless and telecommunications industries on compliance with the WEEE and RoHS Directives, and the emerging compliance requirements for the Eco-Design of Energy Using Products (EuP) Directive.
Clements' expertise will help Environ to respond to the growing demand for its web-based systems for WEEE collection, recycling and reporting of business-to-business WEEE across EU Member States.
He will also play a leading role in Environ's new producer compliance scheme.
The UK WEEE regulations require all manufacturers and importers of electrical and electronic equipment in the UK to join a producer compliance scheme by 15th March 2007.
Failure to join an approved producer compliance scheme will be a criminal offence.
In the medium term, Clements will be drawing on his extensive experience in the electronics industry to develop Environ's new compliance services for the EuP Directive.
This will require electronics companies to demonstrate that they have integrated eco-design requirements into their product development processes, to achieve significant reductions in the environmental impacts of their products across the product life cycle.
Environ already has extensive databases of eco-design technologies and techniques and considerable practical experience in applying these to gain cost and environmental savings from redesign of electronics products.
Clements will be building on this track record to provide electronics companies with an integrated approach to cost-effective compliance with EuP.
