The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) came into effect as of April 2007 and aims to reduce Landfill usage of "End of Life" electrical and electronic equipment . More information can be found at www.environment-agency.gov.uk/weee.
Regulations state; "Business users are responsible, along with producers, for ensuring their WEEE is correctly treated and reprocessed"

Corporate & Social Responsibility
Today's organisations maintain responsibility for their impact on the Environment as are Consumers, Employees, Communities as Stakeholders for our Planet. .
A widely accepted approach from Companies is the support of community-based development projects, including establishment of wide ranging education facilities. Be it provision of finances or Skills to aid local organisations within impoverished communities of the UK & Developing countries, such support to aid sustainable development is invaluable.
