Who is responsible for enforcing the WEEE Regulations?

The Environment Agency for England and Wales, SEPA for Scotland and the Environment & Heritage Service for Northern Ireland (the enforcement agencies) are responsible for ensuring that all eligible producers and suppliers register with a compliance scheme such as Recolight.

The compliance scheme is then responsible for the producers’ obligations and for getting data from its members on EEE put onto the market and for reporting on WEEE collected and recycled.

In order for us to demonstrate to the enforcement agencies that our data is correct we audit all our members. This is on a random basis and no more onerous than necessary to achieve the objective.
