WEEE & Recycling
What is WEEE?
WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. It refers to any electrical or electronic equipment that has reached the end of its useful life and is therefore classified as waste. This includes household appliances, computers, mobile phones, televisions, and other electronic devices. WEEE poses a significant environmental challenge as electronic waste can contain hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium that can cause harm to the environment and human health. These substances can pollute soil, water, and air, leading to serious health consequences for humans and wildlife. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure proper management and recycling of WEEE to minimize the environmental impact and reduce the risks associated with hazardous substances. In response to the growing concern over electronic waste, governments and organizations across the world have implemented policies and regulations to manage the disposal and recycling of electronic waste.
