RECYCLING INFORMATION

PRODUCER INFORMATION

LUMICOM SCHEME

Under the WEEE Regulations, producers of non household luminaires and other B2B WEEE must join a compliance scheme which, amongst other things, will be responsible for:

Financing the costs of the treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal WEEE.
setting up systems that:

i) prioritise the reuse of whole appliances;

ii) treat WEEE using the best available recovery and recycling
techniques; and

iii) recover such WEEE.
Reporting on the WEEE treated and the EEE that scheme members have put on the market.
Declaring compliance with the scheme’s obligation to finance the costs of the receipt, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal WEEE.
Keeping records of the amount of WEEE delivered to (or collected from) an Approved Authorised Treatment Facility (AATF) or an approved exporter.

Lumicom has set up a compliance scheme that collects monthly contributions from producers, in order to pay the costs of the receipt, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of the WEEE for which its members are responsible.

Lumicom is a not for profit scheme and adjusts its charges to reflect the actual costs incurred.

Enjoy the advantages of:

Belonging to a scheme, the Board and staff of which understand your problems and will help you understand how those complex regulations apply to you
Lumicom’s knowledge / experience / technical expertise and the resources at its disposal: AATF network / reprocessors
Lumicom’s ability to handle administration on behalf of members – individual producers provide the required information to their scheme rather than each having to learn and use Environment Agency systems;
Having most of the administrative activity within the Scheme, where industry is in the best position to increase efficiency and minimise costs;
Better access to transport, treatment, and recycling;
Having generic advice on improving the recyclability of luminaires

Although it specialises in lighting equipment, as long as you operate in a business to business (B2B) environment, Lumicom can help you and is more than willing to send along a member of staff to explain your WEEE obligations to you.

The Lumicom Producer Compliance Scheme has been approved by the Environment Agency.
