Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd products are sold in Countries Listed on the right by dealers and distributors. The dealers and distributors act as the importer of the equipment. Thus the dealers and distributors have the legal responsibility to:

• Register as the WEEE producer in any of those countries.
• Finance arrangements for collection and recycling of WEEE arising from Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd products that the dealer and distributor sells in any of these countries.

Please contact the Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd office in the United Kingdom to identify dealers and distributors.

Under the UK Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations, for old equipment that you have bought before August 2005 which is being replaced on a one-for-one, like-for-like basis by the purchase of new Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd equipment, Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd is required to provide arrangements for the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of the old equipment. The old equipment that your new purchase from Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd replaces is referred to as Historic WEEE.

Under the UK WEEE Regulations, Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd is also required to provide arrangements for the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of any new electrical and electronic equipment that you buy from Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd after August 2005, when that new equipment eventually becomes waste. This is referred to as New WEEE.

Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd is required to provide these arrangements starting from 1 July 2007.

Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd products are very competitively priced. Any new increase in operating costs for manufacturers such as Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd is normally reflected in a price increase in the product. However, instead of increasing the prices of our products, Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd has decided to share these new environmental costs directly with our customers. We believe in being transparent with you on any new environmental costs that our products need to address.

Our approach to sharing these new environmental costs is:

• Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd pays for the costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of the WEEE to meet the targets set by the WEEE Regulations;
• Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd pays for the costs of data management and reporting to the Environment Agency to demonstrate compliance with all administrative requirements of the WEEE Regulations;
• you pay for transportation of your WEEE to Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd's appointed recycler in the UK.

Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd has established a recycling contract with the European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of the equipment on arrival at the EARN facility in the UK. All New WEEE that arises from the purchase of Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd products is classed as non-hazardous waste.

It is your responsibility to arrange and pay for costs of collection and transportation to EARN. In order to meet UK Duty of Care Regulations for waste disposal, you should use one of the following carriers (which hold a valid Waste Carriers licence):

For larger quantities of waste, you may want to contact the recycler directly to arrange and pay for alternative collection arrangements. The Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd recycler in the United Kingdom is:

To comply with the UK Duty of Care Regulations the transport of your waste to the recycler must be accompanied by suitable documentation. You must also keep a signed copy of this documentation for two years.

In order to meet this requirement and to enable EARN to identify Trapeze Group (UK) Ltd equipment upon arrival at the recycler's address, please download the Recycling Label for British Customers. Complete the label with your company details and attach it to a suitable box for transport to EARN.
