WEEE recycling software that keeps e-waste properly separate
Record WEEE intake by regulated category alongside your metal purchases, then report on each independently. One system for the whole yard, without WEEE becoming a spreadsheet someone maintains on the side.
Why WEEE breaks general scrap software
Most systems bolt WEEE on as extra material names. It looks fine at the counter and falls apart at reporting time, because the regulator asks about categories your data model never really knew about. SPiS treats the distinction as structural.
Category is structural, not a label
A WEEE line and a copper line are different kinds of record in SPiS. That single design decision is what makes clean separate reporting possible later — retrofitting it onto a system that treats WEEE as a material name never quite works.
Mixed loads work the way they arrive
One seller turning up with cable, motors and white goods is one purchase, with lines of both kinds, one total and one receipt. Nobody has to split it into two transactions to make the reporting come out right.
Separate or combined reporting, same records
Report WEEE volumes by category for your permit, metal volumes by grade for your management accounts, or both together for a full picture of the month — all reading from the same underlying purchase lines.
Intake records that survive an audit
Every line carries date, weight, price, seller and an immutable history of any correction. When a regulator asks what you took in and from whom, the answer is a query rather than an archaeology project.

Frequently asked questions
- What is WEEE recycling software?
- WEEE recycling software records the intake of waste electrical and electronic equipment by regulated category, tracks what is held and what has been passed on for treatment, and produces the reports a permitted operator has to submit. It differs from general scrap software because WEEE is categorised and reported separately from metal grades.
- Does SPiS separate WEEE from metal purchases?
- Yes. Materials in SPiS carry a kind — metal or WEEE — so a WEEE line is structurally distinct from a metal grade rather than just differently named. Reports, inventory and documents can therefore be produced for each independently or together, without anyone filtering a spreadsheet by hand.
- How many WEEE categories does it support?
- WEEE categories are configured per operator, so you set up exactly the categories your permit covers and nothing else. Yards migrating from legacy systems typically bring across their existing category list intact.
- Can one purchase contain both metal and WEEE lines?
- Yes. A single purchase from a seller can carry metal lines and WEEE lines together, priced and totalled correctly, while each line still reports under its own kind. That matches how mixed loads actually arrive at a yard.
- Does it handle the personal data rules around WEEE intake?
- WEEE intake records commonly include seller identity details. SPiS stores these under EU hosting with role-based access, and supports export and erasure of a customer's personal data while retaining the purchase history and totals that your reporting depends on.
