The WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC states: “The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), and in addition, the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce the disposal of waste. It also seeks to improve the environmental performance of all operators involved in the lifecycle of electrical and electronic equipment, e.g. producers, distributors and consumers and in particular those operators directly involved in the treatment of waste electrical and electronic equipment.””

The Directive aims to encourage reuse, recycling and recovery of WEEE and to improve the environmental aspects of all operations involved in the lifecycle of electrical and electronic equipment. The Directive sets requirements relating to criteria for the collection, treatment, recycling, and recovery of WEEE. It causes producers responsible for financing most of the activities. Retailers and distributors are responsible of the recycling aspects of WEEE.

Summary of the WEEE Directive

The WEEE Directive went into effect on August 13, 2009, along with the Directive on Restrictions of the use of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment.
