The Landfill (England & Wales) Regulations 2002 came into force on 15th June 2002 to reduce the negative environmental impacts of landfill. Certain hazardous wastes are prohibited from landfills and pre-treatment of wastes prior to landfill is required.

Our services offer compliance with the rising mountain of environmental legislation and again we audit all key suppliers and waste processors to verify the quality of supply chain partners.

Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is one of the fastest growing elements in the municipal waste process.
There are many hazardous substances used in electrical and electronic equipment including lead, cadmium, mercury, bromine
compounds and arsenic.

Disposal poses a real threat to the environment and as such the EC has issued the WEEE Directive that aims to reduce the
waste arising from electrical and electronic equipment. The WEEE Directive sets targets that 65% of IT equipment must
be recycled and materials such as CRT’s, LCD displays, printed circuit boards, batteries and flame retardant plastics are
pre-treated before disposal. Our services provide complete compliance to the WEEE Directive and we already exceed these
requirements with our partners.
