Glasgow, – March 30, 2006 – Green Oak Solutions, a leading provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions today announced the release of We3 Compliance Manager 1.0, a web-based solution that allows large organisations to manage compliance and optimise operating cost across their end-of-life operations. The product provides scalable solutions for the cradle-to-grave tracking of waste throughout the take-back and recycling process. We3 Compliance Manager has been specifically designed to provide solutions for organisations impacted by the WEEE (Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment) directive.  

“Take-back legislation such as WEEE and ELV place a new burden of responsibility and cost upon producers. These new requirements have a serious impact for manufacturers, many of whom are already operating on razor thin margins.” Says Robert McKechnie, CEO of Green Oak Solutions. “It is therefore extremely important to implement operations that optimise the value return for end-of-life assets while ensuring that they are handled in an environmentally sensitive manner. The key to doing this successfully is in being able to collect the correct information across the supply chain and presenting this in a meaningful manner. Compliance Manager has been specifically designed to manage this function.”  

The WEEE directive implemented in August of 2005 places the responsibility for the take-back and environmentally-safe recycling of electronic and electrical equipment on producers who can be either the product manufacturer, importer or in some cases retailer depending upon the country specific legislation.
