WEEE Waste Electrical and Electronics Equipment WEEE Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment ). The WEEE Directive requires manufacturers to arrange for or contribute to the transport, recycling, treatment or disposal of waste electrical equipment. The companies will establish a recycling program in each member state of the EU when industry- or sector-related collection schemes are not feasible or cost competitive and will supervise the entire recycling operation where necessary. Initially, the main focus will be on solutions for the German market, but the recycling program may be extended to other EU countries, taking local conditions into account. The agreement will cover WEEE categories, such as consumer electronics and IT products, as well as other categories, such as white goods. This collaboration may be further developed, as it will remain open to other partners within these and other sectors in order to reinforce the impact and cost efficiency of the program. The agreement aims to improve pollution prevention through waste reduction, reuse reuse - Using code developed for one application program in another application. Traditionally achieved using program libraries. Object-oriented programming offers reusability of code via its techniques of inheritance and genericity. , recycling and other forms of recovery and to increase the economic and environmental efficiency of the recycling program through economies of scale. JVC, Panasonic and Thomson say their cooperation on this issue testifies to their commitment to sustainable development Sustainable development is a socio-ecological process characterized by the fulfilment of human needs while maintaining the quality of the natural environment indefinitely. The linkage between environment and development was globally recognized in 1980, when the International Union . |
