The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) aims to minimise the impact of electrical and electronic goods on the environment, by increasing re-use and recycling and reducing the amount of WEEE going to landfill. It seeks to achieve this by making producers responsible for financing the collection, treatment, and recovery of waste electrical equipment, and by obliging distributors to allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge.

As a producer of Electrical and Electronic Equipment, Acco UK Ltd (Acco) has already

• Identified which products fall within the Directive.
• Collated all the product data (volume and weight), for each EU country, necessary to submit to the controlling bodies to establish its recovery obligation.
• Complied with the WEEE product marking obligation by marking all products manufactured from 13th August 2005, with the crossed out "Wheelie Bin" symbol.
