·Recovery and recycling

·Producer financing

·Register, marking, information

WEEE - Impact

Failure to act promptly could result in…

·Finding you are out of step with, and at a disadvantage withinyour marketplace

·Additional costs in meeting recycling and environmentalcompliance requirements

·Your products being banned from sale if you fail to complywith RoHS

·Negative PR affecting share price

·Required to provide consumer take-back

·Potential product price increase

·No more co-disposal of hazardous & non-hazardous matls.

WEEE - Opportunities

·Refurbishment / Remanufacture / Re-use of products

·Saving on disposal to landfill

·Disassembly to recover components I.e. IC’s etc

·Marketing PR through early adoption of WEEE and selling ofenvironmentally friendly products

·Shape infrastructure through engagement with government

·Organisations

·Cost savings through re-use and recycling or end of life

·Products as well as reducing product packaging

·Engage in dialogue with recycling companies

·Produce sustainable & environmental friendly products
