Guide to coping with the WEEE directive
Mini guide to new EC directives affecting the disposal of ultra low temperature freezers outlines the current status in an easy-to-digest format
One big global problem of today is how to dispose of all the redundant and obsolete electrical equipment generated by today's high-speed technology developments In Europe, a new EC directive named WEEE - Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment - is intended to address this fast-growing stream of waste by channelling it towards treatment facilities where most of the product can be recycled, instead of trying to find more landfill sites in which to bury it

But who will pay for the extra costs of collection and disposal? What demands does the WEEE Directive place on consumers, producers and waste treatment facilities? When might the user be liable to prosecution? The answers to all these questions and more are in New Brunswick Scientific's Mini Guide to New EC Directives Affecting the Disposal of Ultra Low Temperature Freezers, a leaflet that outlines the current status in an easy-to-digest format.
The guide also covers the regulation on Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS).
