The WEEE guideline – Topic of greatest interest for manufacturers
Once again, we are saddled with a bit more responsibility for our environment.
The WEEE* guideline will come into effect –compulsory within the EU, a voluntary standard for the rest of the world.
Manufacturers, importers and initial sellers of electrical and electronic products (even internet trading companies) will then
have to organize and finance for themselves recycling and disposal of the scrapped products, according to the regulations.
The objectives:
Disposal according to strict ecological standards in order to reduce the volume of waste and to protect our precious resources.
Hence, the focus is avoiding waste, recycling materials and reusing them if possible. Furthermore, people and environment should
be protected from toxic substances.
