 Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

WEEE is the European Community directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment which, together with the RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC, became European Law in February 2003, setting collection, recycling and recovery targets for all types of electrical goods.

The WEEE Directive obliged the twenty five EU member states to transpose its provisions into national law by 13 August 2004. Only Cyprus met this deadline. One year later, by 13 August 2005, all member states except for Malta and the UK had transposed at least framework regulations. As the national transposition of the WEEE Directive varies between the member states, a patchwork of requirements and compliance solutions is emerging across Europe.
