WEEE Recast - Status and Prospect

Electrical and electronic appliances are a fast growing product Group with high diversification. The products contain recyclable material as metals, Plastics and rare earths, but also materials, inter alia in hte glass of Picture tubes, fridges, LCD-Screens and Computer boards. Their proper disposal, especially in the non-OECD countries, is a particular challenge for the Environment and health protection.¹ The european Community has therefore put in place the Directive 2002/96/EG for electrical and electronic waste Equipment (WEEE-Directive) on 13th February 2003.²

The WEEE-Directive transfers the responsibility for the take-backs and the disposal of electrical and electronic waste equipment to the producer of these appliances. This comprises the organisation and financing of disposal as well as the assumption of extensive registration and declaration responsibilities. Furthermore, per capita and year a collection target of 4 kg electrical and electronic waste equipment is determined.³
