Workshops will discuss the WEEE regulations in the context of the relationships between the producer compliance schemes and councils who operate designated collection facilities.
"The agency remained true to its word and processed the schemes in the order in which they were received".
"The handling of the whole situation has been very smooth".
Not wishing to be drawn into the mad rush to become the first approved compliance scheme in the UK, Repic, the largest scheme on the market in terms of tonnage of electrical equipment placed on the market by members, took a more managed approach and submitted its scheme in joint eighth position.
Dr Morton continues: "We expect we'll be the best low cost scheme around and we believe, the only one to provide full cost transparency, therefore are confident in signing up all our members before the 15th March deadline".
Repic is a not-for-profit company established in January 2004 by leading companies in AMDEA, SEAMA and Intellect - three of the main trade associations in the electrical and electronics industry - to meet their producer obligations under the WEEE Directive.
