Guidance produced for recycling newest electronic products (01.11.05) (WEEE)

The European Electronics Recyclers Association has worked with the European Digital Technology Industry, the Household Appliance Manufacturers in Europe, and the American Electronics Association Europe in order to produce the guidance document.

The guidance will help meet the demands of Europe's WEEE Directive, which requires electronics producers to provide information on the dismantling and recovery of any products they place on the market.

In the guidance it is also suggested that producers and recyclers converse regularly on past and future technology trends in products as well as the technical evolutions of treatment operations. According to the EERA this will allow guidance to be updated when need be.
