The WEEE Resources Page
The EU Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) Directive will be incorporated
into British law later this year. It will change completely the way unwanted IT
equipment is handled in this country. It has implications for manufacturers, retailers,
business and domestic users, Local Authorities and IT refurbishers and recyclers.
Below is a directory of resources related to WEEE. Please note that Realise does
not endorse or recommend any of the entries in this directory - they are provided
for information only.
This page will be made fully interactive soon, with the facility for users to
add their own resources. In the meantime submit details of resources to
, along with any ideas you have to help disseminate information on the implications
of WEEE through this site. If there is enough interest we will set up a discussion
forum on the site. Please notify us of any incorrect or inappropriate listings
and any broken links.
