Collection and Recycling Arrangements in the United Kingdom

Under the UK Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations, for old equipment that you have bought before August 2005 which is being replaced on a one-for-one, like-for-like basis by the purchase of new Barco equipment, Barco is required to provide arrangements for the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of the old equipment. The old equipment that your new purchase from Barco replaces is referred to as Historic WEEE.

Under the UK WEEE Regulations, Barco is also required to provide arrangements for the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of any new electrical and electronic equipment that you buy from Barco after August 2005, when that new equipment eventually becomes waste. This is referred to as New WEEE.

In the UK, Barco has joined the WEEE Care compliance scheme to manage all aspects of WEEE collection and recycling. Please contact WEEE Care directly to understand what arrangements have been made to allow Barco customers to send waste equipment for recycling:
