What Is Environmental Compliance?

In general, environmental compliance covers a broad range of laws, regulations and standards framed by governments (both within the US and globally) and other regulatory bodies to protect the environment. Going hand-in-hand with our environmental consulting services, environmental compliance involves actively ensuring that environmental reporting is in accordance with regulatory standards. When operating on a global scale, environmental compliance can become a time intensive process, one that could be outsourced to CKH Group’s dedicated team of experts.

Most Common Environmental Compliance Obligations:

Packaging waste reporting – When consumer goods are purchased and unpackaged for use, the packaging becomes waste (packaging waste). In an effort to shift the responsibility for packaging waste from local communities to brand owners and manufacturers, these entities are becoming responsible for managing the lifecycle of packaging waste that they place on the market.

The regulations regarding product packaging and its waste management impose obligations on entities placing packaged products on the market. Packaging waste reporting refers to the process of collecting, documenting, and submitting information about the quantity and types of packaging materials used and placed on the market. CKH Group can oversee the reporting process to ensure compliance with packaging waste reporting requirements for brand owners and manufacturers.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)- Similarly, there are waste reporting requirements for those entities who manufacture, distribute, or sell electrical or electronic equipment products (such as computers, appliances, mobile phones, etc.).

Battery Compliance- Battery waste compliance stems from guidelines that govern the proper handling, disposal, and reporting of waste generated from batteries. Suppliers of batteries, with or without a product, are required to register the yearly quantities of batteries introduced into the market, and there may be a necessity to participate in waste management compliance programs, similar to WEEE regulations.

What is the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive?

The WEEE Directive stands as a key initiative within the European Union aimed at enhancing the sustainable production and consumption of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) products. This directive endeavors to curb the generation of electronic waste (e-waste) while promoting more efficient resource utilization and the reclamation of raw materials. As outlined by the European Commission, the WEEE Directive employs the following measures to realize these objectives:

Mandates the separate collection and proper treatment of e-waste.
Establishes targets for the collection, recovery, and recycling of electronic products.
Assists member states in combating illegal waste exports by introducing measures that make it challenging for exporters to conceal illicit shipments of e-waste.
Streamlines administrative processes by harmonizing national EEE registers and standardizing reporting formats.
