Return and disposal of waste electrical equipment

The WEEE directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE = Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) was issued in Europe with the aim of reducing the growing quantity of electronic scrap from discarded electrical and electronic devices and disposing of it in an environmentally friendly manner. In Germany, the directive was integrated in the 2005 Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG), which implemented both the WEEE directive and the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment).
