STATEMENT ON WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (WEEE) SUPPLIED TO BUSINESS TO CONSUMER (B2C) CUSTOMERS IN THE UK

Huawei Technologies (UK) Co., Ltd. (Huawei) is a registered Producer under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013 (Statutory Instrument 2013 No. 3113).

The UK’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations first became law on 2nd January 2007, with the purpose of preventing and reducing waste from electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and of promoting reuse and recycling in order to reduce resource consumption. The law requires the Producer to finance the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of WEEE.

All EEE placed onto the market from 2 January 2007 must be marked with the above crossed-out wheelie bin symbol. This symbol is a reminder that all EEE must be taken to separate waste collection points at the end of their working lives; they must not be disposed of in normal household waste. Proper collection and recycling of your equipment helps ensure EEE waste is recycled in a manner that conserves valuable materials and protects human health and the environment. Improper handling, accidental breakage, damage, and/or improper recycling at the end of its life may be harmful for your health and the environment.

It is the responsibility of the user to dispose of the equipment using a designated collection point or service for separate recycling of WEEE according to local laws.

Huawei facilitates the take-back of household WEEE from UK consumers through its membership of a Government approved Distributor Take-Back scheme set up by Valpak. By joining the Valpak scheme Huawei is contributing to the establishment of a network of Designated Collection Facilities (DCF) where consumers may dispose of their WEEE free of charge for recycling and treatment in an ecologically sound manner. In this way Huawei can ensure that WEEE is disposed of by customers in a way that optimizes its re-use and recycling.
