REACH Compliance

Rugged Limited (formerly FB Peripherals) is committed to environmental responsibility through the safe disposal and recycling of our products to safeguard and protect the natural world.

Our Environmental Policy includes the following commitments:

We wholly support and comply with or exceed the requirements of all current environmental legislation and industry codes of practice.

We aim to minimise waste by implementing robust reuse and recycling processes across our operations.

We work to reduce energy and water usage within our buildings, vehicles, and processes to conserve natural resources, particularly non-renewable ones.

We operate and maintain company vehicles with a focus on environmental impact and encourage alternative transport methods and car-sharing whenever practical.

We apply principles of continuous improvement to reduce air, water, noise, and light pollution, minimising the impact of our operations on the environment and the local community.

We prioritise the purchase of products and services that cause the least environmental damage and encourage our suppliers and partners to do the same.

We assess the environmental impact of any new products or processes in advance of their introduction.

We ensure that all employees fully understand our environmental policy and adhere to the high standards it requires.

We address any complaints regarding breaches of our environmental policy promptly and to the satisfaction of all parties involved.

We update our environmental policy annually in consultation with our staff, associates, and customers.

For and on behalf of the Company Management – Rugged Limited.

• The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations (2006 No. 3289), commonly known as WEEE, is a critical piece of UK legislation established to manage the environmental impact of electronic waste.

  These regulations ensure that electrical and electronic products are processed using the most effective treatment, recovery, and recycling techniques available. This approach is designed to safeguard human health and provide a high level of environmental protection by preventing hazardous materials from entering landfills.

  Both Rugged Limited (formerly FB Peripherals) and our customers play a vital role in the success of this recycling cycle. Our ability to recycle equipment depends entirely on its return; therefore, our customers are key partners in this environmental effort.

  Rugged Limited fully accepts and undertakes its responsibility as both a Producer and a Distributor. We are committed to the ethical disposal and recycling of these goods in strict accordance with all relevant UK and European legislation.
