WEEE POLICY
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE), a European Community directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment that sets collection, recycling, and recovery targets for all types of electrical goods, is also part of a legislative initiative to solve the problem of huge amounts of toxic e-waste. This directive took effect in August 2005.
