Recycling Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
This page provides all the information you would need regarding recycling electrical or electronic equipment. According to the EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), all producers of EEE are liable to finance take-back systems, waste treatment, and recycling of equipment they place on the market, at the end of their lifecycle. Products covered by the WEEE Directive are marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin below, to indicate that they should not be disposed of along with household waste:
What is the WEEE Directive?
Note: If you are an owner of a personal electronic device that is covered by the WEEE Directive such as a computer, mobile phone, camera or other, you should ensure to erase all personal or confidential data before recycling this device. Also, make sure to delete any personal or confidential data on any internal storage device such as a memory or SIM card. If you have purchased your product from a Marketplace Seller, please contact that Seller to know more about the compliance solution they have in place for disposing of your old electronic equipment.
The production of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is one of the fastest growing fields of manufacturing in the western world. With broad consumer take-up of products in this area, the associated generation of electronic waste is on the rise.
Why should I recycle my WEEE?
EEE may contain hazardous substances, which if exposed, may have a serious detrimental effect on the environment and human health. That is why all WEEE that you send for recycling will be specifically collected and treated by designated local waste facilities and by licensed WEEE compliance schemes. By ensuring that you dispose of your old EEE according to the new WEEE legislation, you are helping to preserve our natural resources and protect human health.
Are there any other ways of disposing of my old electronic equipment?
If your old piece of EEE is still functional and/or could be repaired for further use, please consider reusing as the first option, either by donating it to a charitable organization, or by giving it to someone else in need. By extending the lifetime of your old equipment, you are also contributing to the efficient use of resources and avoiding additional waste.
Which products fall under the legislation and how do I recognise them?
The WEEE Directive divides Electronic and Electrical Equipment into six categories:
Category 1 – Temperature exchange equipment (Refrigerators, Freezers, Equipment which automatically delivers cold products, Air conditioning equipment, Dehumidifying equipment, Heat pumps, Radiators containing oil and other temperature exchange equipment using fluids other than water for the temperature exchange)
Category 2 – Screens, monitors, and equipment containing screens having a surface greater than 100
cm2 (Screens, Televisions, LCD photo frames, Monitors, Laptops, Notebooks)
Category 3 – Lamps (Straight fluorescent lamps, Compact fluorescent lamps, Fluorescent lamps, High intensity discharge lamps – including pressure sodium lamps and metal halide lamps, Low pressure sodium lamps, LED).
