Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) refers to discarded electronic devices like computers, refrigerators, TVs, and smartphones. As these products reach the end of their useful life, they become waste that can contain hazardous materials, such as heavy metals and chemicals. Proper management of WEEE is important to prevent environmental pollution and health risks. Recycling and reusing components help conserve resources and reduce the impact of electronic waste. Legislation in many countries encourages responsible disposal and recycling of WEEE to promote sustainable practices and minimize environmental harm.
