	[[WEEE]] was first introduced by the [[WEEE Directive]] in 2002 to address the environmental impacts of unwanted electrical and electronic equipment at end-of-life and disposal. WEEE is classed as either household (primarily [[EWCChap20\|EWC 20 01 35]] and [[EWCChap20\|20 01 36]]) or non-household ([[EWCChap16\|EWC 16 02 09* to 16]]). The objective of the Directive and its transposed legislation~~, the [[Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2007, as amended]]~~ is to promote recycling and minimise waste by putting the emphasis for end-of-life treatment and recovery on the original producers or distributors of the items.
