A business perspective on the transposition of the WEEE directive into UK Law: Part I

In the UK, waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is growing faster than any other form of waste in Europe. Directive 2002/96/EC amended by Directive 2003/108/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (the WEEE Directive) aims to prevent WEEE arising and divert WEEE away from landfill through promoting its reuse, recycling and recovery. The WEEE Directive aims to incentivise producers to change the way EEE is produced, used and disposed of.
