Environmental impact

Electrical and Electronic appliances are an integral part
of our daily lives. In order to avoid any possible adverse
effects resulting from the disposal of such equipment,
which contain substances damaging
environment and health, the Council directives 2002/
96/EC and 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament
have been transposed into national law in all EU
member states:
2002/96/EC on waste electrical
electronic equipment (WEEE) and 2002/95/
EC on the restriction of the use of certain
hazardous substances in electrical and
electronic equipment (ROHS).
Due to hazardous contents Waste Electrical, Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) cause environmental and human
health issues during the waste management process if
not properly pre-treated (sorted/separated,
contaminants removed, baled, crushed etc).
WEEE's that are disposed of to landfill, incinerated or
recovered without any pretreatment have potentially
serious consequences
