WEEE: The European Union (EU) Directive on Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment. The Directive deals with the collection, treatment, recovery and recycling of electrical and electronic waste products. The WEEE Directive's aim is to transfer the responsibility for disposal of up to 6 million tons of potentially hazardous WEEE produced within the EU annually to producers of these products. Producers will be required to recycle equipment at end of life instead of disposal to land-fills. This is also referred to as “producer responsibility”. Companies selling electric or electronic devices in the EU will be required to mark new products with a durable marking or label to indicate separate collection of the device at the end of its useful life, and also be prepared to take back and recycle these products.
