According Legislative Decree no. 151 of 25
th
of July 2005, the Italian Government has
implemented the European Parliament directives on the disposal of electrical and electronic
equipment waste (WEEE) (Directive 2002/95/EC and 2003/108/EC).
The decree specifically establishes measures and procedures aimed to:
1.
prevent WEEE production;
2.
promote reuse, recycling and other ways of WEEE recovery, in order to reduce the
amount to be disposed of;
3.
improve, from an environmental point of view, the intervention of the subjects
participating in the life cycle of these devices (producers, distributors, consumers and
operators directly involved in the WEEE treatment);
4.
reduce the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
The decree requires the limitation and elimination of some substances present in WEEE:
banned lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and
polybrominated diphenyl.
