10.3 The WEEE system
WEEE stands for: ”Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment” and the term is used commonly
throughout the EU for waste from electrical and electronic equipment (EEE).
The WEEE Directive stipulates common EU regulations on treatment of WEEE. The rules are based
on consideration for the environment, and they aim at limiting the amount of WEEE we have to
dispose of. The objective is, on the one hand, to encourage producers to manufacture
environmentally friendly products, and, on the other, to increase reuse, recycling and other forms of
recovery.
The WEEE rules provide for producer responsibility, which means that producers and importers of
electrical products must organise and finance take-back and treatment of WEEE, and report
information to a producer register.
