AATF Certificate

Authorised Approved Treatment Facility (AATF) is a waste treatment site that has been approval to carry out the refurbishment or treatment of WEEE. In addition to the recycling of materials, it allows Genuine Solutions to produce official evidence for WEEE recycled on-site and assists producers to satisfy their obligations under the WEEE Directive.

EEE Producer

A company is a ‘producer’ of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) if they manufacture, import or re-sell EEE. Genuine Solutions is classified as a producer of materials that are re-marketed after recycling, and registered with a compliance scheme to ensure we take responsibility for financing the treatment and recycling of materials.

Pre-consent TFS Approval

With significant legislative restrictions on the movement of waste across international borders, overseas cellular companies are often left in a position where they hold materials suitable for recycling, but are unable to export them to the UK. To ensure compliance, a Transfrontier Shipment Notification is required which can take as long as 6 months to arrange. By achieving Pre-consent approval, Genuine Solutions is able to obtain a TFS Notification for a customer within seven days.

ISO 9001 Certificate

ISO 9001 is by far the world’s most established quality framework. Genuine Solutions were one of the first companies within the industry to obtain this standard, which guarantees day-to-day operations are always conducted within the Quality Management System (QMS) ensuring continued client satisfaction.

ISO 14001 Certificate

ISO 14001 is the international standard that specifies requirements for an effective Environmental Management System (EMS). By adopting an effective EMS it allows Genuine Solutions to reduce its environmental footprint and further demonstrate its commitment to protecting the environment.

ISO 27001 Certificate

ISO 27001 (formally known as ISO/IEC 27001:2005) is a specification for an Information Security Management System (ISMS). An ISMS is a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information including people, processes and IT systems by applying a risk management process so it remains secure.

Hazardous waste producer

Since the introduction of the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005, any company who produces hazardous waste must register with the Environment Agency. This registration ensures that Genuine Solutions are legislatively compliant and able to satisfy any potential liability of our customers.

T11 Waste exemption

Genuine Solutions’ T11 exemption allows us to repair, refurbish or dismantle various types of WEEE so that the whole WEEE item or any parts can be reused for their original purpose or recovered – reducing the amount of electrical equipment  ending up in landfill.

UK Carrier / Broker Certificate

Any person or company that carries waste as part of a commercial activity is required to register as a Waste Carrier. In addition, those who wish to arrange a third party carrier to collect waste on their behalf must register as a Waste Broker. Holding both certifications ensures legislative compliance with all movements of waste.
