14. WEEE REGULATIONS
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that suppliers of equipment ie: high street stores and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their faulty equipment free of charge. The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year making it the fastest growing waste stream in the UK.
Recycling reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill.
Bambino Direct is obliged to offer our customers free take back of their WEEE ie: baby monitors to prevent it from going into a landfill site by disposing of it safely. Customers must return their WEEE item to us within 28 days. Under WEEE regulations all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol.
