Hilka Compliance
We are proud to make every effort to strive towards improving our social responsibility standards. We achieve this through our ethical trading policies, working closely with our factories, and participating in the WEEE Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. This directive mandates the responsible disposal and recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. This involvement reflects our dedication to reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability throughout the lifecycle of our products. Through these efforts, we continuously work to enhance our social responsibility and contribute positively to society and the environment.
Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment Directive
Any products, or accessories bearing the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive symbol (shown above) are NOT to be disposed of in domestic waste. Products that are at the end of the machines working life or that are not repairable must be separated and disposed of in an environmentally-friendly way according to national regulations. This also applies to accessories such as batteries which must NEVER be disposed of in household waste, water or fire. Empty packaging bearing the symbol may be disposed of through your normal route.
As part of our commitment to the WEEE directive, we have partnered with Recycling Lives & the European Recycling Platform to make sure we are compliant both in the UK & across Europe.
Our WEEE Number is: WEE/HB0311VY
