Northern Ireland Environment Agency (for applicants based in N Ireland) 
Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (for applicants based in Scotland)

Labelling Requirements

Label ALL EEE products with the crossed-out wheelie bin symbol to indicate that the product should not be disposed of in general waste

Reporting Obligations

Regularly report the total weight of EEE placed on the UK market, either annually or quarterly. If you have more then 5 tons of waste then you must report as being a large producer if you have less then that makes you a small producer.

Communicate Producer Registration Number

After registering, share your Producer Registration Number with your distributors. (After Registration with Authorities)

Provide Recycling Information

Ensure your B2B customers are informed about recycling options for your products at the end of their life cycle. This information enables customers to dispose of EEE responsibly and contributes to a sustainable waste management system.

Global RTS The trip was in the morning on the 28th March 2025, Will and Patrick organised it.

We met people who worked there, learning how to become an air traffic controller. We used there main sim that used 4 big TVs to show a graphically simulated view of a run way from the view of a tower. We also communicated with headsets to simulate how real air traffic controllers communicate to pilots.
