Fibreplus Ltd. WEEE Policy
Statement for United Kingdom Business Customers.
1.0 Introduction
Fibreplus Ltd., will meet its
obligations under the EU Directive on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The
objective of this policy is to specify the
applicable products affected by this directive and
to detail the policy and procedures for the return
and safe disposal of WEEE.
2.0 Applicable Product
Any finished product is subject
to WEEE regulations. A finished product is defined
by three criteria: -
- A product with a housing i.e. not an OEM
component or sub-assembly.
- A product either with an intelligent
interface; RS232, PS/2 or USB or one that can
operate on a stand-alone basis, i.e. independent
of a host.
- A product that is dependent on an electric
current to work properly.
From 13 August 2005 all
applicable Fibreplus Ltd finished product are
labeled with the WEEE compliant logo as follows:-
Any product not marked with the
WEEE logo should be disposed of in normal waste
streams as per current practice. Any product marked
with the WEEE logo should be separated from other
waste streams to ensure that it can be recycled in
an environmentally sound manner.
3.0 Fibreplus Ltd. -
Limited Liability
Under the U.K. implementation of
the WEEE directive the following definitions apply:-
Historic WEEE

registered as a supplier of WEEE with the

declarations with regard to WEEE sold within the

for Historic WEEE is applicable only where like
for like purchases to replace the existing
products is being negotiated. E.g. If 4000 of
product A are being replaced with product B and

is acceptable. This collective producer
responsibility for historic WEEE will end in
