Once a decision has been made that environmental disposal is the required route for equipment supplied by clients, professional partners are used to ensure the most ethical processes are used. We will ensure all items are maintained within a WEEE compliant process, in addition all items will be tracked through our comprehensive system and Certificates of Destruction produced. At Canopus we appreciate that our client requires more than just minimal compliance, asset evidence needs to be supplied throughout the recycling process.
Although the UK has some way to go before we start to ensure recycling is the preferred option for end of life equipment, and levels of recycling reached by those of our European neighbours. Recycling levels are increasing continually, and Canopus wishes to do everything possible to enhance these levels of positivity towards recycling of true WEEE. Some of the areas of note for the industry as a whole are detailed below;
- WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive.
- Landfill Directive and resulting regulations
- Pre-treatment regulations
- Producer Responsibility Regulations
- Battery Directive (2006/66/EC)
