WEEE is a directive which is set to collect, recycle and recover targets for all electrical goods by the manufacturers. The company is expected to have adequate infrastructure for free collection of WEEE from households in city. The composition of electrical goods is complex and it creates environmental issues if not treated properly. These waste goods contain potential harmful chemicals and substances including toxins which give rise to environmental hazards. Therefore the collection of such wastage is to be carried out in an ecological friendly manner. The WEEE regulations and responsibility apply to retailers, importers, producers, waste management industry, households, businesses, local authorities, etc.

WEEE is increasing 3 times faster than any other municipal waste which poses serious threat to our healthy life. Moreover the electronic waste is going more into landfill sites rather than going to reuse or safe dispose. There comes in the responsibility of each individual to decompose or treat them in an eco-friendly way. As per the legislation, the producers hold more accountability towards WEEE regulations and needs to comply them. The collaborative effort of laws, manufacturers support and other individuals can scale down the rising problems. A number of times we may think that these electrical goods have ended its life but it’s said that 25% of them can be reused. Sometimes it’s a better choice for upgrading or reusing them rather than just dumping it. Although many still go for land filling option it’s now a high time to change this perspective and adopt recommendations that are eco-friendly. The latest development in WEEE is about increasing the collection means of household electrical wastes to minimize the landfill costs and their usage.
