WEEE Regulations

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulation (WEEE) Regulation 2006

Nectarine Ltd takes its responsibilities under the WEEE regulations seriously. Our producer number is WEEFJ2087SV.
Where Nectarine Ltd is a distributor of EEE as defined by the regulation:

(1) We will accept without charge and dispose of in an environmentally friendly manner at an approved WEEE disposal centre on a like for like basis any item similar to an item purchased from Nectarine Ltd that falls under the WEEE regulation.

(2) Please contact Nectarine Ltd at the time you make the purchase and we will give you instructions for returning your old item.

Nectarine Ltd would like to draw your attention to:

(i) Your role in the re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery of WEEE under the regulations.
(ii) The potential effects on the environment and human health as a result of the presence of hazardous substances in EEE; and
(iii) the meaning of the crossed out wheelie bin symbol.

Much of the UK's WEEE ends up in landfill, where the lead and other toxins it contains can cause soil and water contamination. This can have a harmful effect on natural habitat, wildlife and also human health.

Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Goods are marked with this symbol to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005, and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled.
