Producer responsibility
The challenges faced by our clients
The EU has adopted a number of 'cradle to grave' style directives in recent years requiring producers to take responsibility for the recovery and recycling of products when they have been used or discarded by the consumer. The main targets for these measures have been packaging waste, end of life vehicles and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The rules and requirements are complex and it can be difficult to work out to what extent your business if affected, and failure to comply properly can lead to significant penalties.
How we can help
Our specialist producer responsibility team is at the forefront of legal developments in this area and can offer cutting-edge advice in this developing area of law. For example, we can:
- provide pan-European advice on scope, compliance options and contractual issues
- advise in relation to compliance schemes and registration
- provide strategic advice on compliance options
- defend enforcement proceedings and negotiate with regulators in relation to threatened enforcement.
