Relevant Laws
As a prerequisite for selling electric appliances in EU member states, the WEEE Directive obliges manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and distributors of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) to take back and recycle all types of end of life products. Similar requirements are defined by the European Battery Directive.
