WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, and that definition includes virtually any household or non-household equipment that uses a battery or plug. It aims to reduce the impact of equipment that has reached the end of its lifecycle.
Virtually every business is affected by WEEE Regulations. It is essential that you understand and carry out certain responsibilities to avoid legal, regulatory and environmental repercussions.
