WAB DISBANDED
The new government has disbanded the WEEE Advisory Board, the quango set up to advise government ministers on the regulations, in an effort to cut costs.
CCR REBAT WEBSITE
WEEEComply’s battery recycling partner, CCR REBAT, have launched their new website www.rebat.co.uk. The site features a battery bin locator to enable you to find your nearest battery recycling facilities.

Batteries

The new Battery Regulations require Battery Producers placing more than 1 tonne on the market to join a Battery Compliance Scheme by and to fund the collection and recycling of waste batteries. The government has set targets for collection and recycling, starting at 10% of all batteries for 2010 and rising to 40% by 2015. This is a significant challenge for the UK.

WEEEComply is pleased to offer the services of CCR REBAT to members as we believe that this represents the best compliance option for WEEEComply members.

WEEEComply members with a battery recycling obligation benefit from low annual membership fees and low recycling charges from one of Europe's leading battery recyclers. In addition, Members can join and to submit data via the WEEEComply members' website.

CCR REBAT operates one of Europe's leading battery take-back systems, collecting over 60,000 tonnes of batteries per annum from 13 EU Member States. The scheme already has in place the required international notifications, existing licences to transport waste batteries, excellent relationships with EU member state authorities and existing attractive agreements with the final batteries treatment and recycling facilities across Europe.

Scheme members will be able to directly access CCR REBAT's extensive collection network for battery collections (and request free-issue batteries collection containers) via a link from the WEEEComply website platform directly to a batteries collection request form within the CRR REBAT European IT platform.

UK obligated batteries distributors (i.e. retailers selling more than 32kg of portable batteries per premise PA) can request free batteries collections via WEEEComply / CCR REBAT.

The CCR REBAT is an Approved Battery Compliance Scheme: Approval Number BCS2010993/E.
