The waste regs and your responsibilities
We’ve just learnt that the hotly anticipated WEEE Consultation is delayed.
We were hoping to update you at the planned webinar on 22 June. We will reschedule, please watch this space.
The government is planning the biggest shakeup of the WEEE regulations in a decade. When we have a confirmed date, Defra WEEE Supremo Graeme Vickery will talk us through the proposed changes, and explain how the industry can respond though an open consultation. Nigel Harvey, CEO of Recolight, will present an analysis of the impact of the changes on the lighting industry.
In this special webinar, we’ll look in detail at the requirements and explore at the options available to comply, including the comprehensive services offered by Recolight.
