Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Directive
The European Union (EU) Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste from
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) deals with the collection,
treatment, recovery, and recycling of electrical and electronic waste
products. The objective of the WEEE Directive is to assign the
responsibility for the disposal of associated hazardous waste to either
the producers or users of these products. Effective August 13, 2005,
producers or users are required to recycle electrical and electronic
equipment at end of its useful life, and may not dispose of the
equipment in landfills or by using other unapproved methods. (Some
EU member states may have different deadlines.)
In accordance with this EU Directive, companies selling electric or
electronic devices in the EU will affix labels indicating that such prod-
ucts must be properly recycled. (See our website for more information
on dates and deadlines for compliance.) Contact your local sales repre-
sentative for information on returning these products for recycling.
Equipment that complies with the EU directive is marked with a
WEEE-compliant emblem, as shown in
Figure 2 .
