Recycling Information
WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment), Recycling of Electronic
Products
United Kingdom
In 2006 the European Union introduced regulations (WEEE) for the collection and recycling of
all waste electrical and electronic equipment. It is no longer allowable to simply throw away
electrical and electronic equipment. Instead, these products must enter the recycling process.
Each individual EU member state has implemented the WEEE regulations into national law in
slightly different ways. Please follow your national law when you want to dispose of any
electrical or electronic products. More details can be obtained from your national WEEE
recycling agency.
Germany / Deutschland
Die Europäische Union hat mit der WEEE Direktive umfassende Regelungen für die
Verschrottung und das Recycling von Elektro- und Elektronikprodukten geschaffen. Diese
wurden von der Bundesregierung im Elektro- und Elektronikgerätegesetz – ElektroG in
deutsches Recht umgesetzt. Dieses Gesetz verbietet vom 24.März 2006 an das Entsorgen von
entsprechenden, auch alten, Elektro- und Elektronikgeräten über die Hausmülltonne! Diese
Geräte müssen den lokalen Sammelsystemen bzw. örtlichen Sammelstellen zugeführt werden!
Dort werden sie kostenlos entgegen genommen. Die Kosten für den weiteren Recyclingprozess
übernimmt die Gesamtheit der Gerätehersteller.
France
En 2006, l'union Européenne a introduit la nouvelle réglementation (DEEE) pour le recyclage
de tout équipement électrique et électronique.
Chaque Etat membre de l’ Union Européenne a mis en application la nouvelle réglementation
DEEE de manières légèrement différentes. Veuillez suivre le décret d’application
correspondant à l’élimination des déchets électriques ou électroniques de votre pays.
