The EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is one of a series of 'Producer Responsibility’ Directives that makes EU producers, of new equipment, pay for the recycling and/or safe treatment and disposal of products that they put on the market, and eventually is thrown away.
Any business that manufactures, brands, imports electrical, or electronic products is known as a ‘Producer’ and is affected. Businesses selling electrical items or storing, treating or dismantling WEEE are affected. The legislation applies to household and non-household products.

Remember we all have an obligation to recycle.
The disposal of used electronic devices has been a major issue in the European Union for a number years. The EU has thus adopted two pieces of legislation to deal with the problem: the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directives. WEEE, which began to take effect on August 13, 2005, will require European manufacturers to accept returns of old equipment. The basic goal is to limit volumes of waste going into landfills by setting up collection schemes and encouraging recycling and reuse of materials. RoHS went into force in mid-2006, prohibiting the use of substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium. For more detailed and up-to-date information about WEEE and RoHS, see the European Commission website
