WEEE compliant
01 July 2015
Pallet pooling and production company Pooling Partners claims to be the first in Europe to introduce a receptacle that complies with the latest requirements for transporting waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
The new WEEE receptacle was recently put into use by the Belgian organisation Recupel, which is responsible for collecting and treating old electronic equipment for all of Belgium.
The European guidelines for the ‘transport of dangerous substances and articles’ were revised this year (ADR 2015). As a result, the bulk transport of WEEE products that contain lithium batteries is no longer permitted. Recupel recognised the need to change its collection and transport methods and initiated the project with Pooling Partners to find a solution.
