The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) hereby announces that a certain manufacturer of covered devices is not included on the Department's list of registered manufacturers, maintained by the Department under sections 302 and 507 of the Covered Device Recycling Act (CDRA). Accordingly, under Section 302 of the CDRA, no retailer may offer these manufacturers' products for sale within the Commonwealth.
Manufacturers of new covered devices—such as televisions, laptop and desktop computers, tablets, etc.—offered for sale in Pennsylvania are required to register with the Department prior to commencing sales per Section 304 of the CDRA. Manufactures must also pay an annual registration fee and submit a recycling plan and annual report. Section 302 of the CDRA prohibits the sale of covered devices in the Commonwealth by unregistered manufacturers.
The Department is required to maintain a list of registered manufacturers per Section 302(b) of the CDRA. The list can be accessed by visiting dep.pa.gov.
The following manufacturer is not included on the Department's list and are therefore considered out of compliance:
Trexonic
Due to its non-compliant status and non-inclusion on the list of registered manufacturers, the Department is notifying the public, in cooperation with covered device retailers, that the CDRA prohibits the sale of devices manufactured by Trexonic within the Commonwealth, and that the sale of such devices would constitute unlawful conduct under the CDRA. Non-compliant manufacturers may once again be included on the Department's list of registered manufacturers, and their devices offered for sale in the Commonwealth, if the manufacturers return to compliance with all the applicable provisions of the CDRA.
Inquiries regarding this notification can be directed to Jordan Hoover, Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Waste Management, Division of Waste Minimization and Planning, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P.O.
