WEEE

On show, the complete WEEE cycle. According to the EU, Waste electrical and electronic equipment is increasing in the European Union at a rate of 3.5 times that of ordinary urban waste. If not treated correctly, WEEE poses a risk to the environment and human health due to the presence of substances which are toxic for man and the eco-system. The principle of extended producer responsibility is one of the best examples of a new approach in the economic and political world.
