Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is one of the fastest growing elements in the municipal waste process.
There are many hazardous substances used in electrical and electronic equipment including lead, cadmium, mercury, bromine
compounds and arsenic.
Disposal poses a real threat to the environment and as such the EC has issued the WEEE Directive that aims to reduce the
waste arising from electrical and electronic equipment. The WEEE Directive sets targets that 65% of IT equipment must
be recycled and materials such as CRT's, LCD displays, printed circuit boards, batteries and flame retardant plastics are
pre-treated before disposal. Our services provide complete compliance to the WEEE Directive and we already exceed these
requirements with our partners.
