Following the Call for Evidence by BIS on 21st June members of the WEEE Scheme Forum, representing over 90% of the UK’s EEE industry members, have agreed to prepare data to be consolidated and submitted through an independent third party. This response follows concern that commercially sensitive information could otherwise be made available by BIS through any Freedom of Information request. The objective of the exercise is to identify the true costs related to the collection and recycling of ‘B2C’ WEEE, rather than that of ‘B2B WEEE’ where concern has been raised that prices are higher than in the rest of Europe and have not reflected any offsets gained through higher scrap prices.
