Appendix C – Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment
July, 2005
The WEEE directive places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and
importers to take-back electronics products at the end of their useful life. A sister Directive, ROHS
(Restriction of Hazardous Substances) complements the WEEE Directive by banning the presence of
specific hazardous substances in the products at the design phase. The WEEE Directive covers all Multi-
Tech products imported into the EU as of August 13, 2005. EU-based manufacturers, distributors,
retailers and importers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery from municipal collection points,
reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the WEEE requirements.
