WEEE "Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment"
What is WEEE?
- The Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Regulations (2006 No. 3289) (WEEE) is a new UK legislation
designed to address the environmental impact of waste electrical and
electronic equipment
- The regulations have been put in place to
ensure that products are recycled using best available treatment, recovery
and recycling techniques to ensure human health and high environmental
protection
- Both VapourTek and our customers can assist
in recycling waste electrical and electronic equipment
- We cannot recycle it unless you return it,
so our customers have an important role to play in helping us to recycle
- VapourTek will undertake their
responsibility as a retailer to dispose of these goods in line with European
legislation

How do I recycle my old products?

electrical equipment to VapourTek when you are purchasing a new product from
us under our distributer obligations*
- When you have finished with a WEEE product,
please do not put in your domestic waste bin, as it will not be recycled
- Please contact us at
office@vapourtek.co.uk to
arrange a convenient time for you to deliver the old item back to us
- Please quote your VapourTek product order
number and describe the item that is to be recycled
- Please carefully package any item for
collection in advance to avoid transit damage
- Once the product has arrived with us we will
then deal with the waste product in an environmentally responsible manner,
at no cost to you
*It has to be like for like (e.g. a steam cleaner
for a steam cleaner, not a vacuum for a steam cleaner).
