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 to the

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 and

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
