All producers have to
register through an approved Producer Compliance Scheme. They can register themselves as a Scheme, but must still go through the full approval process – and pay the £12,174 fee that each scheme will have to pay for 3 years approval. Compliance schemes will be legally liable for achieving their member’s obligations and must have approval through the Secretary of State.
The scheme will have to estimate what tonnage of WEEE in each of those categories is likely to arise in the UK through the compliance period and then apply its market share to estimate the amount of evidence it is likely to have to collect.
