The WEEE Calculator was conceived to assist with the requirements of the WEEE regulations. It is best viewed as a guide to the calculation of WEEE recycling and recovery rates. The values you enter in to the calculator are interpreted based upon protocols and assumptions made within the protocol reports (see links).

The WEEE calculator is not a compliance scheme, recycler or producer; it is independently hosted; there is no joining fee and no obligation. The website is provided by CIWM (EB), the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management Environmental Body, based around original research conducted by Mayer Environmental Limited and funded by Defra’s BREW Programme.

The Calculator

Our obligation calculator not only works out your overall recycling efficiency, but you will also get an estimate of recycling/recovery efficiency, and in the case of SMW (Small Mixed WEEE), it will distribute the benefit of recycling/recovery rates to each Category. In the event of a shortfall it can be used to help determine where more evidence of recycling is required to meet the recycling/recovery targets
