WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) aims to minimize the impact of electrical and electronic goods on the environment, by increasing re-use and recycling and reducing the amount of WEEE going to landfill. It seeks a achieve this by making producers responsible for financing the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment and by obliging distributors to allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge.
