Recycling of WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) is a rising issue in the global recycling market. Such as the amount of waste electrical and electronic equipment created every year in the European Union is increasing rapidly as the fastest growing waste stream. Based on European Commission, 5 tonnes of waste is produced by the average European each year. Only 38% of waste in the EU is recycled, and over 60% of household waste still goes to landfill in some EU countries. For that, the EU brings several policies and acts especially for PCR (Post Consumer Recycling) including WEEE Directive and the RoHS Directive to reduce landfill waste and to increase the level of recycling through the circular economy.
