Environmental Management

As a Sustainalite accredited company Weblight consider environmental management a priority and acknowledge a responsibility for the safe removal and disposal of old light sources from site.

The W.E.E.E Directive makes it illegal to send more than 20% of the weight of discharged lamps to landfill.

If you operate fluorescent or discharge lighting on your premises you have an environmental responsibility against this legislation. This will impact on your material supply, handling, storage and end of life disposal of old lamps.

The legislation addresses all new and existing products installed in every building.

There are no exemptions related to company size!

Weblight's Solution

• Weblight is Sustainalite approved which demonstrates that we have methods in place to fully recycle end of life lamps
• The burden of responsibility is completely removed from the client
• We are authorised to transfer materials to recycling points
• We can offer an energy efficient installation service utilising long life lamps

As part of any relamping contract or project, Weblight offer full lamp recycling within the standard price.

The DW Group has recycled over 1.1 million lamps in the last year - separating out the main constituent part of the lamps; glass, metal, plastic and mercury and returning the elements back to the manufacturing sector reducing the demand on raw materials
and landfill sites.
