Equipment Disposal
WEEE and Your Obligations WEEE stands for the EU directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. This directive was approved by 'The European Union' at Brussels on the 8th November 2002. The directive states that businesses are no longer allowed to simply dispose of their equipment in skips or landfills, as has been possible until now.
The WEEE directive will be transposed into UK law in 2007, XS2U can supply solutions for the implications on your business.
