The Directive aims to reduce the waste arising from electrical and electronic equipment, and improve
the environmental performance of everything involved in the life cycle of electrical and electronic
equipment. This is translated into the following requirements:
™ Producers (manufacturers or importers) of electrical and electronic equipment will be required
to register in their countries.
™ Private households will be able to return their WEEE to collection facilities free of charge and
producers will be responsible for financing these facilities.
™ Producers will be required to achieve a series of demanding recycling and recovery targets.
™ Wheeled bin emblem Producers will be required to mark their products with the ‘crossed out
wheeled bin’. This symbol indicates that the equipment carrying this mark must NOT be thrown
into general waste but should be collected separately and properly processed under local
regulations.
The WEEE directive has been transposed into each EU member state’s legislation and so the exact
timing and details will vary slightly from country to country, but the above principles will apply. In
particular, the arrangements for the separate collection of WEEE will vary in each country but might
include for example: public collection points, retailers take back schemes, collection from households,
etc. The Directive encourages reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery in order to prevent WEEE.
Users of electrical and electronic equipment in the E.U. can therefore play an important role in
reducing WEEE and helping the environment by separating out WEEE and disposing of it properly.
Consumers can ask the supplier from whom they purchased the Electronic & Electrical equipment
from about local arrangements for the disposal of WEEE.
Business users are advised to ensure that WEEE, which is not suitable for reuse or recycling, be
disposed of properly via approved authorized treatment facilities. The Producer in your country may
be able to assist you.
Loadstar sensors is dedicated to minimizing the impact our products have on the environment and to
comply with the WEEE Directive.
