Description:

ESS, Environmental Storage Solutions Ltd. is a UK company based in Northamptonshire and was established in the year 2000. Its business activities are focused at the e-waste industry sector, more specifically the collection, treatment and recycling of electric and electronic waste. Its facilities, which are located at the Leyland Trading Estate in Northampton, comprise a specialist Refrigeration and Vending Recycling Facility.

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) is a European Community directive (2002/96/EC) for waste streams originating from electrical and electronic equipments. It became a European Law in February of 2003 and sets out targets for the collection, recycling and recovery for all types of electrical goods. This directive came into force in the UK in January of 2007.

The directive imposes the responsibility for the disposal of waste from electrical and electronic equipments onto manufacturers of this type of equipment. Under this directive, companies have to establish an infrastructure for collecting WEEE to the extent that users of electrical and electronic equipment from private households can have the possibility of returning WEEE at least free of charge. These companies are also compelled to use the collected waste in an ecologically friendly manner, either by ecological disposal or by reuse/refurbishment of the collected WEEE.
