appliances as applicable within each geography. This label is applied to various
products to indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but rather put in
the established collective systems for reclaiming these end of life products.
Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the WEEE marking must
not dispose of end of life EEE as unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection
framework available to them for the return, recycle, and recovery of WEEE and to
