	Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment was the first of the European Directives to be published on [[WEEE]] on the 27 Jan 2003 and formed part of the producer responsibility principle. It's aim was to ensure that those responsible for placing one of the fastest growing waste streams 'on the market' i.e. the producers, distributers etc become responsible for the recyling and recovery of any electrical or electronic product at the end of its life given that this equipment often contained several hazardous substances such as mercury, cadmium, lead, hexavalent chromium and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and certain ozone deleting substances<ref name="WD">[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/resource.html?uri=cellar:ac89e64f-a4a5-4c13-8d96-1fd1d6bcaa49.0004.02/DOC_1&format=PDF/ WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC]</ref>.

The requirements of the WEEE Directive have since been updated and amended since the publication of this first Directive.

==Directive 2012/19/EU==
Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment ([[WEEE]]) is the current version of the Directive which was published on the 13 August 2012. It seeks to tighten up the requirements of the initial directive and contribute more effectively to sustainable production and consumption by the prevention of WEEE and by the re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce the disposal of waste and to
contribute to the efficient use of resources and the retrieval of valuable secondary raw materials<ref name="WEEE">[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2012:197:0038:0071:en:PDF/ WEEE Directive 2012]</ref>.
