Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether her Department has had discussions with representatives of Elfbar UK regarding the disposal of its products after use.

The Environment Agency has the responsibility for compliance monitoring registered producers under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations and for investigating and enforcing against producers that do not register.

There have been no direct discussions between Defra and Elfbar but the Environment Agency has been informed that Green Fun Alliance Ltd import Elfbar products. Green Fun Alliance are registered as a producer under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations.
