WEEE

What is the WEEE directive?

WEEE stands for Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment. It is an EU directive aimed to reduce the impact of electronic waste on the environment. At least 1 million tonnes of electronic waste from homes and businesses is discarded every year, a figure that is estimated to be growing by 4% annually.

Currently a very high proportion of this goes straight to landfill, and the new legislation means that a greater emphasis will be placed on recycling. In addition, a number of the components inside computers are hazardous and this legislation also looks to reduce the impact of these materials.
