Green reminder goes out to firms
FYLDE businesses could be missing out on cost savings and harming their green credentials, local Euro MP Chris Davies has warned.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) legislation means all electrical manufacturers have to pay the cost of collection, treatment, recycling and disposal of their products.
This means businesses may return their electrical and electronic equipment to the producer and no longer need to pay to send it to landfill.
Mr Davies, Liberal Democrat spokesman on the environment, said: "If your business uses a computer, photocopier or even has a microwave in the staff kitchen, you need to ensure it is disposed of properly when it is ready to be scrapped.
"Companies should incorporate WEEE into their procurement procedures, so that the eventual disposal is easier and will improve the company's green credentials."
