Regulatory Compliance
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and Battery Directives
Businesses need to communicate with both governments and consumers to be compliant with WEEE and battery legislation. This includes reporting the number of units and weight of products placed on the market in each of the growing number of jurisdictions that have passed WEEE and battery extended producer responsibility legislation. This necessitates reporting against varying criteria and at different timetables for each jurisdiction. Producers and brand-holders are also responsible for ensuring that consumers are informed of their role in properly disposing of WEEE and batteries.
