WEEE
WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, which refers to discarded electrical devices and electronics. This includes items like computers, televisions, mobile phones, and appliances. Proper disposal of WEEE is essential to prevent environmental pollution and to recover valuable materials.
The management of WEEE is regulated in many countries to ensure safe recycling and disposal. This helps reduce the harmful effects of toxic substances found in electronic waste, such as lead and mercury. By recycling WEEE, valuable resources can be recovered, promoting sustainability and reducing the need for new raw materials.
