Who is responsible for the correct disposal of this waste?

The legislation that regulates this waste flow is based on the principle of extended producer responsibility, with the producer of Electrical and Electronic Equipment being given responsibility for managing the waste when it reaches the end of its life, which can be assumed individually or transferred to an integrated system.

All those involved in the EEE life cycle, distributors, traders, companies, end users, have the responsibility to ensure that the equipment is properly routed at its end of life. All entities/companies must be able to justify the destination they give to their waste. Any non-compliance is punishable by fines.
