The Waste Electrical Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive

All Ansell products that are within the scope of the directive (Category 5 – Lighting Equipment, with the exception of household luminaries and filament lamps) are clearly identified by the ‘Wheelie bin’ symbol, as below.

The symbol can be shown on the relevant instructional leaflet or packaging, if it is not practical to mark the product

Under the WEEE directive, Ansell are defined as a producer of WEEE and therefore are required to register with the Environment Agency as such.

Unique producer references have been issued as follows:-

Ansell Electrical Products Ltd (Warrington)
WEE/FH0429XT

Ansell Sales and Distribution Ltd (Belfast)
WEE/GJ0292UQ

To meet the producer obligations for collection/recovery and recycling of waste, Ansell have elected to join a producer compliance scheme. The scheme, reference WEE/MP3538PZ/SCH is operated by WeeeCare Plc (Tel:0844 800 2004) www.weeecare.com

Please note – The compliance scheme only applies in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. For Ansell products supplied in the Republic of Ireland, the Distributor and NOT Ansell, assumes ‘Producer’ responsibilities.
