Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2006 ("the WEEE Regulations") The Government has introduced the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulation 2006 ("WEEE"), which has been effective from 1st July 2007.
Producer Responsibility: Thomas & Betts Ltd (Existalite Emergency Lighting) meets its producer responsibility via membership of the Lumicom Producer Compliance Scheme (registration no. WEEE/DH0073UQ). Under this scheme, de-polluted luminaires (ie those with the lamps, batteries and liquid filled capacitors removed), which are being replaced by our fittings, will be recycled in an environmentally sound manner.
Recycling Cost: Producers (or their agents) are required to finance the environmentally sound disposal of non-household luminaires and the gas discharge lamps within them. Therefore, with effect from 1st July 2007, there will be a recycling charge, which may vary from time to time.
