7.4.2 Ecological
background
It is well known that WEEE pollutes the environment by releasing toxic products during
decomposition. The aim of the European RoHS directive is to reduce the content of toxic
substances in electronic products in the future.
The intent of the WEEE directive is to enforce the recycling of WEEE. A controlled
recycling of end of live products will thereby avoid negative impacts on the environment.
