How Does the WEEE Directive Address Toxic Substances?
The Directive sets specific targets for the collection, recycling, and recovery of e-waste. It also mandates that manufacturers design products that are easier to dismantle and recycle. By doing so, it reduces the release of toxic substances into the environment. Additionally, the WEEE Directive complements the RoHS Directive, which restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
