What is a compliance scheme and what is its role?

A compliance scheme is a non profit organisation that will take care of the collection, treatment and recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in Ireland on behalf of its producer members. The compliance scheme will then invoice the producer for his/her proportion of the WEEE collected in Ireland.

At present, there are two approved compliance schemes in Ireland: ERP Ireland (European Recycling Platform) and WEEE  Ireland.
