Welcome to WERCS

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations came into force on 1st July 2007 and applies the principle of Producer Responsibility to this sector under the European WEEE Directive. Any business of any size that manufacturers, imports or sells under their own brand, equipment that relies on electrical current to work is now considered a 'Producer' and must legally register with a Compliance Scheme.

WERCS has been approved as such a scheme. Operated by The Electrical Waste Recycling Group, WERCS has the pedigree and operational capability to meet producer expectations for reliable, well informed, cost-controlled compliance.
