What you need to do

If you are a producer, you must:

Register with an approved Producer Compliance Scheme (PCS) such as Comply Direct Ltd by the 15th Oct for the following year (or within 28 days of entering the UK EEE market)
Pay your chosen compliance scheme according to its fee structure and membership rules
For household (B2C) producers, by the middle of the month following each quarter, submit quarterly EEE data to their respective compliance schemes confirming the amount of household EEE placed on the market in the preceding quarter for each of the 13 WEEE categories
For non household (B2B) producers, by the middle of the month following the last quarter of the year, submit their annual EEE data to their respective compliance schemes confirming the amount of non household EEE placed on the market in the preceding year for each of the 13 WEEE categories
Ensure that EEE you put onto the UK market is marked with a “crossed out wheeled bin” symbol to assist with its separate collection from other waste streams
Ensure that EEE put onto the UK market is marked with a producer identification mark (usually a company logo)
Ensure that EEE you put onto the UK market is marked with a date indicator
Within one year of having placed new EEE on the market, make available certain information about new types of EEE to assist reuse, treatment facilities and recyclers (information such as different materials and components of EEE and the location of any hazardous substances)
Provide your producer registration number(s) to distributors when you sell EEE (can be incorporated into letterheads or onto invoices for example. This number will remain the same from compliance period to period and even if a producer switches compliance schemes at the end of a compliance period. The number is issued by the relevant authority and issued to producers via their compliance schemes)
