In accordance with the requirements in the WEEE directive (art.8.5) the European commission requested European Standardization Organisations (ESOs) to develop European Standards (ENs) for the collection, logistics and treatment including recovery, recycling and preparing for re-use of WEEE.
The process of making the standards is transparent and consensus based. Standards have a harmonzing effect. The development of the European standards for WEEE was broadly supported by stakeholders working in the field of electronic and electrical equipment.
A brochure visually explaining the European Standards fo Waste Electrical and Elecronic Equipment (WEEE) is now available. The development of the brochure was supported by EERA (the European Electronics Recyclers Association) Download it from here.
