WELCOME TO THE UK'S WEEE DISTRIBUTOR TAKE-BACK SCHEME (DTS)

Approved by the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA)

PHASE 7 OPEN FOR REGISTRATIONS

Phase 7 of the scheme runs from 1 January 2024 until 31 December 2026. The funds
raised in Phase 7 will continue to be used to support Local Authority projects
with the aim to increase WEEE collections and there will be a process in place
to monitor the benefits achieved throughout the phase.

Important Note: Please be advised that the Secretary of State has required that
vape sales now be excluded from the DTS meaning that all stores selling vapes
will now be required to provide in-store takeback for customers buying vapes in
line with the WEEE Regulations. This is irrespective of their turnover of vape
sales. That does not preclude those businesses from joining the DTS in respect
of other electrical sales where they fall below the £100k threshold for
membership.

Subject to the above DTS exclusion for vapes, if you have at least one physical
store and sell less than £100,000pa worth of electrical (EEE) or you are
online/distance sellers only of any size, then you can join for Phase 7
membership until 31/12/2026.

Distance sellers who have a physical location are also now able to join the DTS
on a voluntary basis (in addition to providing takeback at that physical
location) to demonstrate effective participation in a WEEE collection system to
online/distance customers.

If you have any queries about the DTS or the registration process, please
contact Valpak Retail WEEE by email at DTS@valpak.co.uk or telephone 03450 682
572.
