TWELVE makers are to set up a company to manage the recycling operations under the new Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE).
The new company, which has the working title of the Recycling Electrical Producers Industry Consortium (REPIC), will begin setting up in the Spring.
REPIC members have committed themselves to funding of £30,000 apiece to get the company up and running.
The 12 companies are: Alba, B&W Loudspeakers, BSH Home Appliances, Glen Dimplex, Hoover Candy, In-Sink-Erator; Kohler Mira, Merloni, Numatic, Philips, Smeg and Whirlpool.
