WEEE Compliance
for Household luminaire producers
Household luminaires are in scope of the WEEE Regulations.
This means that manufacturers, importers and re-branders must join a WEEE Producer Compliance Scheme and comply with the same requirements that other sectors of the electrical industry have met since 2007.
With the introduction of Dual Use classification in 2015, business luminaires that could be used in both the home and commercially, were classified as household. With household luminaires now in scope, it means that all light fittings are covered by the WEEE Regulations.
A number of other products now in scope of the WEEE Regulations are light switches, plugs, sockets, and ceiling rose/lampholder sets.
Recolight offers a straightforward approach to charging in contrast to the complexities of traditional WEEE schemes:
- The Recolight approach is to apply a flat fee per kilogramme based on actual in-year sales.
- Unlike other compliance schemes, Recolight notify you of the rates in November for the following year.
- This is simple to build into your budget and means Recolight Members do not need to be concerned about the consequences of market share, target changes, or the compliance fee.
- You have no hidden costs.
