Recolight will "seek to establish an efficient and cost effective process for recycling end-of-life lamps and related equipment, which is fully compliant with the Regulations. This will involve supporting and facilitating the development of a national network of collection points for end-of-life products and arranging contracts for the collection and recycling of such products."
The workshops will explain the implications of the new Regulations for the lamps industry, describe Recolight's proposed process/system for meeting the regulatory requirements and then explore the business implications and opportunities/threats for the industry.
The half day events from 10.00am to 12.30pm are being held in the following locations: Leeds, Weetwood Hall, 17 April; Glasgow, Scottish Exhibition Conference Centre, 27 April; Manchester United FC, Old Trafford, 9 May; Belfast Dunadry Hotel, 16 May; Cardiff, Vale Hotel & Golf Resort (M4), 24 May; London, Emirates Stadium, Arsenal FC, Islington, 7 June.
Recolight chief executive Eddie Taylor comments: "If your business distributes or installs gas discharge lamps or if you're a significant user, then it is likely the WEEE Regulations from July will affect you to some degree. These workshops are designed to provide information and encourage discussion about the WEEE Regulations and the Recolight process/systems to those involved in the lamps industry such as distributors, installers and local authorities. Our aim will be to make them interesting, informative and interactive.
"The WEEE Regulations represent a significant change for the industry and we aim through events such as these workshops, as well as establishing practical processes for meeting the legal requirements imposed by the Regulations, to help the industry to handle that change as effectively and efficiently as possible."
