In order to comply with the EU's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive, communication technology provider Nortel has signed a pan-European electronics recycling contract with Sims Recycling Solutions (SRS), part of Australia's Sims Group.
Under the deal, SRS becomes Nortel's strategic European partner for the recovery, re-deployment and recycling of the latter's end-of-life equipment. To arrange for appropriate disposal, Nortel customers in all countries across Europe simply contact the company on telephone hotlines or via e-mail.
Since August 2005, all Nortel equipment has been labelled with disposal information to comply with the WEEE directive and customers receive detailed equipment disassembly documentation. "Working together with Nortel, we believe we're helping to improve the environment overall through the expansion and advancement of recycling and safe disposal activities," says Ren� Kik, European Business Development Director at SRS.
