WEEE Information

Scannex products with the crossed wheelie bin symbol were placed on the market after August 13th 2005 and are referred to as "New WEEE".


Users outside the UK

Where the supplier of Scannex products is resident in your country then the supplier acts as the importer of the equipment. Thus the supplier has the legal responsibility to:

  • Register as the WEEE producer
  • Finance arrangements for collection and recycling of WEEE arising from Scannex equipment, unless other contractual arrangements are in place.

Please contact the supplier directly to find out how he is meeting these obligations for your waste electrical and electronic equipment.

If the supplier of Scannex products is not resident in your country then the business end-user acts as the importer of the product. In this situation:

  • No organisation is required to register as the WEEE producer
  • No organisation is required to provide WEEE collection and recycling arrangements.

Scannex is willing to take on the responsibility and the costs of treatment and recycling of equipment that has been supplied by Scannex after August 13th 2005, when that new equipment eventually becomes waste.

  • It is your responsibility to arrange and pay for costs of collection and transportation to Scannex.

Users within the UK

Under the UK WEEE Regulations Scannex will finance the treatment and recycling of equipment that has been supplied by Scannex after August 13th 2005, when that new equipment eventually becomes waste.

  • If batteries have been installed in Scannex products by the user or supplier these should be removed before shipping, and disposed of appropriately.
  • It is your responsibility to arrange and pay for costs of collection and transportation to Scannex.
