What is the new WEEE directive?
With effect from July 2007 the UK’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations require that all retailers both actively assist in delivering a UK wide WEEE collection infrastructure and encourage the participation of consumers in recycling electronic equipment. Producers of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) will be required to finance the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of WEEE at its end of life.
