WEEE Ireland, the national compliance scheme for electrical recycling, is a not for profit organisation, founded by producers of electrical and electronic appliances in order to comply with the legal obligations imposed by the WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC. WEEE Ireland organises the treatment and recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) from authorised collection points in Ireland, on behalf of its members.
WEEE Ireland works with permitted waste management companies and licensed treatment facilities to ensure WEEE is managed in an environmentally sound way and over 75% of the waste electrical and electronic equipment collected is initially processed here in Ireland. On behalf of its industry members WEEE Ireland has helped ensure over 7kg of household WEEE per person in Ireland was collected for recycling in 2006 – well ahead of the EU target for Ireland of 4kg per head of population by 2008. Ireland is well on track to collect 9kg of WEEE per head of population by the end of 2007.
For the finale of Repak Recycling Week 2007, we have teamed up with WEEE Ireland who are holding public service collection days at a number of venues around Ireland. These venues are in Dublin, Carlow and Westmeath.
