Collection and Recycling Arrangements in the United
Kingdom
Under the UK Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Regulations, for equipment that you buy from Tait after August 2005,
Tait is required to provide arrangements for the collection, treatment,
recycling and recovery of WEEE that your new purchase replaces, on
a one-for-one, like-for-like basis. The old equipment that your new
purchase from Tait replaces is referred to as Historic WEEE.
Under the UK WEEE Regulations, Tait is also required
to provide arrangements for the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery
of any new electrical and electronic equipment that you buy from Tait after
August 2005, when that new equipment eventually becomes waste. This is referred
to as New WEEE.
Tait is required to provide these arrangements starting
from 1 July 2007-2009.
Tait products are very
competitively priced. Any new increase in
operating costs for manufacturers such as
Tait is normally reflected in a price increase
in the product. However, instead of increasing
the prices of our products, Tait has decided
to share these new environmental costs directly
with our customers. We believe in being
transparent with you on any new environmental
costs that our products need to address.
Our approach to sharing these new environmental costs is:
- Tait pays for the costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of the
WEEE to meet the targets set by the WEEE Regulations;
- Tait pays for the costs of data management and reporting to the Environment
Agency to demonstrate compliance with all administrative requirements of
the WEEE Regulations;
- you pay for transportation of your WEEE to Tait's appointed recycler
in the UK.
Tait has established a recycling contract with the European
Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment,
recycling and recovery of the equipment on arrival at the EARN facility in
the UK. All New WEEE that arises from the purchase of Tait products is
classed as non-hazardous waste.
It is your responsibility to arrange and pay for costs
of collection and transportation to EARN. In order to meet UK Duty of Care
Regulations for waste disposal, you should use one of the following carriers
(which hold a valid Waste Carriers licence):
For larger quantities of waste, you may want to contact
the recycler directly to arrange and pay for alternative collection arrangements.
The Tait recycler in the United Kingdom is:
To comply with the UK Duty of Care Regulations the transport
of your waste to the recycler must be accompanied by suitable documentation.
You must also keep a signed copy of this documentation for two years.
In order to meet this requirement and to enable EARN to
identify Tait equipment upon arrival at the recycler's address, please
download the Recycling Label for British Customers.
Complete the label with your company details
and attach it to a suitable box for transport to EARN.
