The WEEE Directive

Over recent years numerous regulations and directives have been enforced by our government and the European Union. Their aim is to protect the environment and make it a safer place for all. These regulations and directives include;

• Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005
• The European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive
• Battery Directive
• Environmental Protection Act 1990

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is a European law designed to encourage and regulate the collection, reuse, recycling and recovery of waste electrical and electronic equipment.

The WEEE regulations came into force on 1st July 2007, this ensured all organisations electronic equipment would have to recycled responsibly. The directive ensured waste that contained harmful chemicals would not come into contact the environment causing damage.

All of the above regulations have a direct impact on the way your company may dispose of used electronic equipment. This in turn directly affects your corporate responsibility and activities.
