We’re here to help you understand
your obligation as an importer or manufacturer
If you’re not sure if you should be registered as a part of a producer compliance scheme, we’ve created a quick compliance checklist below.
Alternatively, get in touch with a member of the team today about your importer/manufacturer obligation.

Keeping your obligation costs down
We work with our importers and manufacturers to implement takeback and collection schemes.
We work with importers and manufacturers to implement takeback and collection schemes.
By working with you and your customer to collect waste electrical equipment, batteries and packaging, we can reduce your compliance costs by offsetting your obligation with the weight collected.
We can also subsidise hazardous and difficult waste collection services according to any obligated materials we collect from you. Plus, we returned over £16 million to our clients from recovered materials in 2022.
