What is the WEEE Directive?
The WEEE Directive is European environmental legislation aimed at preventing said electrical & related material from going to landfill.
Even if only a small part of an item is electronic, for example a large toy with electronic sound, it still counts as WEEE.
There are sub categories within the framework to break it down into different types. One of the important distinctions is whether it is hazardous or not. CRT monitors and other WEEE containing harmful substances are classed as hazardous.
