EU WEEE Directive
The European Union (EU) Directives on WEEE (waste from electrical and electronic equipment)
2002/96/EC and its Recast 2012/19/EU are intended to protect the quality of the environment and
human health through the prudent use of natural resources and the adoption of waste management
strategies that focus on recycling and reuse. Member States' WEEE laws are expected to be
implemented after August 13, 2005. After this date, producers of almost all electrical equipment will be
responsible for their products at the end of their useful lives. Producer responsibility will include
meeting labeling requirements, providing information to end-users, channel and treatment facilities,
ensuring the availability of collection infrastructure, submitting sales and recovery data, and financing
WEEE costs in Countries where our products fall within the scope of the WEEE Directive only.
Toshiba, like other electronic companies, is working with design teams, suppliers, and other partners to
determine end-of-life strategies for our products. Toshiba has followed the development of the WEEE
directive since the beginning of 1998 by participating in related working groups on national and EU level.
In April 2003, Toshiba established a European Environmental Department responsible for WEEE
implementation in Europe. This central function is currently preparing all necessary measures to be in
compliance with the WEEE directive, including the transition in each EU-Member State's national law
which includes:
•
registration in all EU countries
•
reporting of quantities sold
•
labeling of products effective August 13, 2005
