Today the UK battery law and the UK WEEE this board to cross-border sellers to do an explanation, I hope to sell electronic products cross-border sellers to help.
UK Battery Law
Battery production definition
Where there is a physical presence in the UK and the first person in the distribution chain (including importers) to supply or sell batteries in the UK market.
If the batteries are sourced from the UK, then they are not manufacturers and do not need to be registered as such. Cross-border sellers are obliged to register as battery manufacturers once they have placed their batteries on the UK market.
Here is an explanation of what putting it on the market means.
These batteries are individually/corporately made
2. or importing batteries from a country other than the UK. If the batteries are imported, then they are responsible for the batteries entering the UK and are categorized as the manufacturer placing the batteries on the UK market.
UK Battery Registration Process
1. Batteries under 1 ton;
2, more than 1 ton, (with the official commissioned by the organization) to declare. Push the green circle, artificial + AI customer service, 24 hours at any time to answer; price price ratio is high, cross-border sellers rest assured to buy it ~!
UK battery types include
1. Carrying
2. Vehicles and other motor vehicles
3. Industrial
The battery manufacturer must
Register with the relevant organization to accurately record the tonnage and chemical composition of the batteries placed on the market; how this is done depends on the type of battery sold and the number of batteries placed on the market. Identify your battery type
Why Recycle Batteries
Batteries are made from important resources and chemicals, including lead, cadmium, zinc, lithium and mercury. Recycling is one way you can help protect the environment.
Every battery that goes into the recycling bin will be disassembled and many of the materials will be recycled and used to make new batteries or something else. If you put your batteries in the trash, they will be taken to the landfill and resources will be lost.
What are the implications of not complying with UK battery laws?
If you don't comply you could be fined up to £5,000.
The above is about the UK battery related knowledge, of course, the UK battery law do not understand remember to ask Xiaotong Oh, green circle is a cross-border sellers solid backing it!

What is WEEE in the UK?
WEEE stands for Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment. E-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world. Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is anything with a battery or plug.
Fluorescent tubes and low-energy light bulbs are also categorized as EEE under the regulation. old filament light bulbs are not covered by the regulation when electronic products are applied to electrical and electronic equipment.
What are the total categories of WEEE in the UK?
1. Large household appliances
2. Small household appliances
3. IT and telecommunication equipment
4. Consumer equipment
5. Lighting
6. Electronic power and electronic tools (except large stationary industrial tools)
7. Toys, leisure and sports equipment
8. Medical devices (except all implanted and infected products)
9. Monitoring and control instruments
10. Automatic distributor
11, Display Equipment
12. Cooling equipment containing refrigerant
13, Gas discharge lamps and LED light sources
14. Photovoltaic panels
WEEE UK is required to fulfill the following obligations
To fund the cost of collection, treatment, recycling and financial soundness disposal of WEEE deposited at designated collection facilities or returned to the Producer Compliance Scheme ("PCS") by distributors or other parties during the compliance period;
2. funding the costs of collection, treatment, recycling and environmentally sound disposal of WEEE arising during the compliance period of EEE placed on the UK market on or after 13 August 2005 and the replacement costs of EEE placed on the market before that date with EEE of equivalent type or performing the same function
They join the Producer Compliance Scheme (PCS) if they place 5 or more tons of EEE on the UK market within a year, or register with the relevant authority if less than 5 tons.
What is the purpose of registration under the UK WEEE legislation?
The WEEE regulation was introduced to facilitate the separate collection of WEEE and its subsequent processing for more efficient reuse, recovery and recycling.
Prior to the regulation, 90% of WEEE went to landfill. The regulation forms part of wider extended producer responsibility legislation, which means that the "producer" pays for disposal at the end of life.

Consequences of not registering for WEEE in the UK
If placed on the UK market 5 tons or more of electrical and electronic equipment EEE (electrical and electronic equipment), must join a WEEE certification compliance program and share a certain percentage of the recycling costs of these electronic products. Green Circle is recommended here to protect cross-border sellers!
The manufacturer must register the EEE within 28 days of placing it on the UK market.
Failure to comply with Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations can result in you being prosecuted in the Magistrates' Court and fined up to £5,000, or an unlimited fine at court.
