What EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE) requires
EU Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE recast) implements producer responsibility for waste electrical and electronic equipment in the EU. Producers (defined broadly to include manufacturers importers and distance sellers) must finance collection treatment recovery and environmentally sound disposal of WEEE from their products. Member States must achieve minimum collection rates (45% from 2016 then 65% of EEE placed on market or 85% of WEEE generated from 2019) and recovery/recycling targets per Annex V by EEE category. Collection rates from private households are met through retailer take-back (1:1 free of charge) and collection points.
