Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive)

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) is a European Union regulation designed to promote the recycling and proper disposal of electrical and electronic waste. It ensures that manufacturers take responsibility for the lifecycle of their products, encouraging them to design goods that are easier to recycle. The directive aims to reduce the environmental impact of e-waste by requiring collection, treatment, and recycling of items like computers and appliances. By following the WEEE guidelines, we can minimize waste, conserve resources, and protect the environment from harmful substances found in electronic devices.
