Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment. The purpose of Directive
2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is,
as a first priority, the prevention of waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE), and in addition, the reuse, recycling and other
forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce the disposal of waste.
It also seeks to improve the environmental performance of all operators
involved in the life cycle of electrical and electronic equipment, e.g.
producers, distributors and consumers and in particular those
operators directly involved in the treatment of waste electrical and
electronic equipment.
