Helvar is committed to meeting all of its applicable obligations under the European Union’s (EU) WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive (2012/19/EU). The WEEE Directive mandates certain environmental waste management strategies over various disposable and recyclable electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market of EU Member States by either manufacturers or distributors of such equipment.

Helvar Ltd supports the reuse and recycling of WEEE as there are several environmental benefits of doing so, such as reduction of raw material and energy usage, prevention of landfill, prevention of hazardous and/or toxic materials present in some WEEE contaminating the environment. As a Producer under the UK WEEE Regulations, Helvar Ltd complies with its Producer Obligations by being registered as a Member of the Wastecare WEEE Producer Compliance Scheme and obtaining the WEEE Producer Registration Number – WEE/BD0005ZR. The Wastecare WEEE producer compliance scheme is operated by Wastecare Compliance Plc, registration number 06043169. The Scheme is approved by the Environment Agency, registration number WEE/MP3538PZ/SCH.
