What is WEEE?
In 2002, the European Commission introduced the WEEE Directive. The directive was intended to address the environmental impact of how we dispose of unwanted electrical and electronic equipment. The directive includes ten broad categories of WEEE, ranging from large and small household appliances to lighting, medical and consumer equipment.
The average UK citizen will create 3.3 tonnes of WEEE in their lifetime. It’s therefore vitally important for both businesses and households to cut down on this waste and recycle electrical and electronic waste responsibly and safely.
