In August 2005, the European Union's Waste Electronics and Electrical Equipment Directive (WEEE 2002/96/EC) placed the obligation of recycling (including collection, treatment, and safe disposal) of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) products upon manufacturers. The goal is to reduce electronic waste, protecting the human health and the environment from hazardous substances.

Companies are required to comply with the European Union's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC) on waste electrical and electronic equipment.

The WEEE legislation is drafted and implemented separately in each of the 27 EU Member States. In order to avoid  fines upon import into European countries, electronics producers need to be aware of the specifics of each country's regulations, definitions and compliance organizations, and register with the appropriate authorities in each country.
