WEEE Directive Compliance in Universities & Colleges Workshop - 11 July 07

Copies of the presentations from this event are below.

Does your university or college buy or dispose of electrical equipment such as IT, audio-visual, white goods or laboratory instrumentation? If so, from 1st July, you will be affected by the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2006.

The regulations, in certain circumstances, place responsibilities on end-users, i.e. institutions, of WEEE to be responsible for the recovery and recycling of this equipment. The WEEE regulations also raise issues concerning contract negotiations for the supply of new electrical and electronic equipment and who takes responsibility for financing the recovery and recycling when the equipment becomes waste.

You need to attend this workshop if you:

• Are responsible for waste

• Are responsible for procuring Electrical and Electronic Equipment

The workshop will:

• Provide expert advice and knowledge from a nationally experienced consultant with key sector insight and understanding

• Extract the key points of the legislation

• Highlight the risks

• Provide case studies showing how institutions are planning to tackle the issue.

The seminar will provide delegates with building blocks to put a process in place to manage compliance with this legislation back at their own institutions.

Costs: £140 for EAUC members and £240 for non-EAUC members. To book a place please email info@eauc.org.uk including details of any particular dietary requirements. Visit the shop to pay online using a credit/debit card.
