In August 2005, the European Union’s Waste Electronics and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) Directive placed the obligation of recycling (including collection, treatment, and environmentally friendly disposal) of electrical and electronic equipment products upon manufacturers. The goal is to reduce electronic waste, protecting human health and the environment from hazardous substances. Failure to comply with the WEEE Directive places these manufacturers at risk for prosecution and inability to place their products in the EU market.
Intertek provides logistical, operational, financial, and technical consulting solutions for WEEE recycling compliance. As WEEE requirements are country specific, Intertek’s services are designed to adapt and conform to each country's rules and regulations, in all ten EU WEEE Directive categories. Intertek works directly with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their contract equipment manufacturers (CEMs) to rapidly and cost-effectively fulfill the European Union's WEEE requirements.
