On
the horizon are the UK's implementation of European
Directives introducing producer responsibility
for end of life vehicles and waste electronics.

(WEEE) Directive became European law in February

targets for all types of electrical products.

The
Restriction on Hazardous Substances Directive
(RoHS), which accompanies the WEEE Directive,
bans the use of heavy metals and brominated fire
retardants in the manufacture of electrical and
electronic equipment (see detailed report on WEEE
in Appendix I).
The
Directives must be implemented in European Member
states by August 2004. Collection, treatment and
financing systems for WEEE must be in place by
September 2005 and the first collection and treatment
targets are to be attained by December 2006.
