Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is a European law that aims to reduce environmental harm caused by discarded electrical and electronic devices. It encourages manufacturers to design products that are easier to recycle, promotes proper collection and recycling of waste equipment, and ensures consumers have convenient ways to dispose of electronics responsibly. The goal is to minimize hazardous waste, conserve resources, and support sustainability by properly managing electronic waste rather than it ending up in landfills.
