[[Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment]] ([[WEEE]]), also known as [[E-waste]], is end of life Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE),  i.e. items that require electric currents or electromagnetic fields in order to operate. The [[EA]] reported<ref name="ref1">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/waste-electrical-and-electronic-equipment-weee-in-the-uk</ref> that 1.9 million tonnes of EEE was placed on the market in the UK in 2021, with 498,333 tonnes of [[WEEE]] collected.

== Overview ==
[[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.
 
===Background===
[[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 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.
In the 2019-21 House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee Report<ref>[https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/3675/documents/35777/default/ Electronic Waste and the Circular Economy]</ref> it identifies the UK as the second highest generator of [[E-waste]] per person in the world, after Norway, at 23.9kg per person.
In the 2019-21 House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee Report<ref>[https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/3675/documents/35777/default/ Electronic Waste and the Circular Economy]</ref> it identifies the UK as the second highest generator of [[E-waste]] per person in the world, after Norway, at 23.9kg per person.


[[The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013 (as amended)]] is the current underpinning UK legislation <ref>Office for Product Safety and Standards, 2018. [https://www.gov.uk/guidance/regulations-waste-electrical-and-electronic-equipment Regulations: waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). GOV.UK.] [online] [Accessed 5 Dec. 2019]</ref>.
In 2020 a parlimentary enquiry called for a number of changes to improve the recycling of [[WEEE]] including the reporting by value rather than weight<ref>[https://cdn.ca.emap.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2020/11/electronic-Waste-and-the-Circular-Economy.pdf Electronic Waste and the Circular Economy]</ref>.


The regulations identify 10 broad categories of WEEE, including:
[[Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013 (as amended)]] is the underpinning UK legislation which were amended in the [[Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (Amendment, etc.) Regulations 2025]]<ref>https://www.gov.uk/guidance/regulations-waste-electrical-and-electronic-equipment</ref>. The 2025 amendment extended responsibility to online marketplaces and added Vapes to the categories of WEEE.
 
Guidance was updated by the [[EA]] in August 2025 on what WEEE is covered by the WEEE Regulations<ref>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/electrical-and-electronic-equipment-eee-covered-by-the-weee-regulations/electrical-and-electronic-equipment-eee-covered-by-the-weee-regulations</ref>.
 
===Categories===
The regulations identify 15 broad categories of WEEE, including:
#Large household appliances e.g. fridges, cookers, microwaves, washing machines and dishwashers
#Large household appliances e.g. fridges, cookers, microwaves, washing machines and dishwashers
#Small household appliances e.g. vacuum cleaners, irons, toasters and clocks
#Small household appliances e.g. vacuum cleaners, irons, toasters and clocks

WEEE generally contains a mixed variety of materials, potentially including hazardous ones (e.g. cadmium, arsenic or lead), making it problematic to manage and meaning the treatment methods for WEEE vary massively depending on the technology used and the relevant category<ref name="foo" />. It can include [[wikipedia: Persistent organic pollutant|Persistent Organic Pollutants]], or [[wikipedia: Persistent organic pollutant|POPs]], which require specific segregation and compliance with specific regulations<ref> POPs regulations 2019 – UK SI.2019 No.1099 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2019/1099/made), implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1021</ref>.

The [[EA]] updated their public register of producers and approved exporters, authorised treatment facilities and producer compliance schemes in March 2022<ref>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/waste-electrical-and-electronic-equipment-weee-public-registers</ref>.The current national target for WEEE collection is 65% of the average of the previous three years placed on the market (or 85% of WEEE generated). For 2022 the target has been set at 511,377 tonnes<ref>[https://www.mrw.co.uk/news/weee-collection-target-set-after-extraordinary-year-07-04-2022/?eea=*EEA*&eea=Y3pSOGJOdFFNTkw2MERxVHkyWGptYkY4WXR2QzZNVzRaWGJUR0RRNFVIdz0%3D&utm_source=acs&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=FABS_MRW_EDI_SUBS_Daily_07042022&deliveryName=DM41415 MRW Article accessed April 2022]</ref>.
The [[EA]] updated their public register of producers and approved exporters, authorised treatment facilities and producer compliance schemes regularly<ref>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/waste-electrical-and-electronic-equipment-weee-public-registers</ref> and the tonnage collected on a quarterly basis.The current national target for WEEE collection is 65% of the average of the previous three years placed on the market (or 85% of WEEE generated).

The most recent data from the [[EA]]<ref name= "ref1"/> indicated that 1.6 million tonnes of Household Electronic and Electrical Equipment and 0.3 million tonnes of Non-Household Electronic and Electrical Equipment were placed on the market in 2021, of which 498,333 tonnes (as shown in the tables below an increase on 446,419 tonnes in 2020) was collected:
