Essential legal requirements for manufacturers, importers, distributors, and online marketplaces placing electrical and electronic equipment on the European Union market.

Crossed-Out Wheeled Bin Symbol

The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicates that electrical and electronic equipment must not be disposed of with unsorted household waste. The symbol must be visible, legible, and permanently marked on the equipment or, where appropriate, its packaging or accompanying documentation.

WEEE Collection Points

End-users should be informed about available WEEE collection and return points. Clear information helps consumers identify where waste electrical and electronic equipment can be returned for proper collection, treatment, and recycling.

Reuse and Recycling of WEEE

Proper WEEE collection supports the reuse, recycling, and recovery of valuable materials. End-users should understand their role in keeping electrical equipment within appropriate collection systems and supporting responsible resource recovery.

Do Not Dispose of WEEE with Household Waste

Waste electrical and electronic equipment must not be placed in ordinary unsorted municipal waste. Separate collection is essential to ensure that WEEE can be appropriately treated and recycled while reducing environmental risks.

Hazardous Substances in Electrical Equipment

Electrical and electronic equipment may contain substances that can pose risks to human health and the environment if handled or disposed of incorrectly. Proper WEEE collection helps ensure that such equipment is managed through appropriate treatment processes.

WEEE Information for End-Users

Consumers need clear and understandable information about WEEE disposal, separate collection, available return systems, recycling, and the meaning of the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. This information supports correct disposal decisions at the end of a product's life.

WEEE Marking Requirements

Electrical and electronic equipment placed on the EU market must be appropriately marked to support separate collection. The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol should normally be applied directly to the equipment and, in specific cases, may appear on the packaging, instructions, or warranty.

Safe Disposal of Electrical Equipment

Electrical products should be handled through appropriate WEEE collection systems at the end of their useful life. Proper disposal helps prevent uncontrolled waste handling and supports environmentally sound treatment, recovery, and recycling.

WEEE Instructions for Online Sellers

Online sellers and distributors should make relevant WEEE disposal information accessible to customers. Clear instructions can explain separate collection, return options, recycling, product markings, and the correct handling of equipment at the end of its life.
