Scott Butler, general manager for the scheme's UK operations, which are based in London, said: “We are approaching the end of the second compliance period. This time last year there was a lot of uncertainty with delays, disputes over evidence trading and the threat of the new WEEE system failing. It will be interesting to see if any of these issues remain unresolved. Obviously the economic climate is very different now, so there are new challenges.”
To take part in the survey, go to the ERP UK WEEE and Batteries Survey 2009.
The survey runs until Friday 1 May 2009. The results will be published on 10 June 2009 and presented by Scott Butler at the letsrecycle.com live! Recycling and Waste Forum, which is this year be held alongside Futuresource at the London Excel centre.
