It currently operates with a view to provding UK businesses with a safe (licenced and trackable) and secure (certified confidential waste destruction) method of disposing of their IT (e-waste) hardware. Directors anticipate Authorised Treatment Facility status (ATF) by Oct 2008 and AATF (Approved Authorised treatment facility) by Jan 2009. If you're a manufacturer of eee, you need the latter (through a PCS- Producer compliance scheme).

ATF and the rest! Recycling e-waste in the UK
So where now? Well, there's certain stipulations in the license. we need to provide training and have competent people on site. This means me and Kevin achieving NVQ level 4's in Waste management within 12 months and then obtaining WAMITAB approval... In additional, we're going to go for AATF status over the next 4 weeks- just in time for Jan 09 and the start of the new Producer Compliance register. The aim? To ensure a steady stream of waste electronics, computers and technological equipment from manufacturers, suppliers and producers.
