Recolight, the specialist WEEE compliance scheme for the lamp industry, is celebrating its 1000th collection point. South Eastern Electrical became the 1000th collection point when they turned to Recolight after winning a new energy saving contract with Tesco.
Recolight was established by the UK lamp industry in 2005 primarily for the purpose of operating a WEEE Compliance Scheme on behalf of lamp producers in the UK. Its operating model is based upon one developed by the European Lamp Companies Federation (ELC) – a European Trade Association for lamp manufacturers- although the implementation is different in each country, reflecting the different national implementations of the WEEE Directive EC2002/94.
