Producers of electrical goods are applauding the UK's decision to delay mandatory recycling of electrical goods until January 2006. According to these companies, this will ease the burden on companies and provide them with the time needed to install the infrastructure needed to make the law work, while keeping jobs in the UK.
The EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive calls for mandatory recycling of all electrical and electronic goods from computers to toaster ovens to flashlights. It was originally supposed to come into force in August 2005, but REPIC, a consortium and electrical and electronics goods manufacturers, urged the government to give them more time.
