What is WEEE

What Is WEEE? Understanding Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) refers to redundant or faulty electronic devices that must be safely collected, processed, and recycled in compliance with UK regulations.

The WEEE Directive 2007 outlines how this type of waste must be handled, refurbished, and disposed of. As technology evolves at an accelerating pace, more devices are being replaced faster—often before the latest models even reach the market. This fast turnaround leads to WEEE becoming one of the UK’s fastest-growing waste streams.

WEEE includes products from the following categories:

  • Large household appliances

  • Small household appliances

  • IT and telecommunications equipment

  • Consumer electronics

  • Lighting equipment

  • Electrical and electronic tools

  • Toys, leisure, and sports devices

  • Medical devices

  • Monitoring and control instruments

  • Automatic dispensers

With more people and organisations relying on digital technology, proper WEEE recycling is essential to reduce environmental impact, meet legal obligations, and support the circular economy.
