Budget Pack helps define ‘Good Practice Guidelines for the collection and treatment of WEEE’ (18/09/2009)

Current industry standards for the collection and treatment of waste electrical goods are falling a long way short in ensuring high quality materials become available for recycling.

As a result the UK Government has tasked WRAP with the aim of establishing good practice guidelines for the collection and treatment of WEEE. Through WRAP, the UK’s Waste and Resources Action Programme, a steering group has been put together to direct projects involved with increasing recovery rates and minimising the loss of WEEE from the recycling system.

Stephen Clark, Managing Director of Budget Pack, has been appointed a member of the WRAP steering group. As a recognised expert within the WEEE industry, he is well positioned to feed into the process from his experiences in managing Budget Pack’s WEEE compliance scheme since the implementation of the UK’s WEEE Regulations.

Budget Pack has been offering WEEE compliance services since the regulations were released in 2007. Budget Pack focuses on assisting members reduce their costs and making the collection of WEEE a simpler process.
