How much do you know about WEEE certification?

1. What is WEEE certification?
WEEE is the abbreviation of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. In order to properly deal with these huge amounts of electrical and electronic waste and recycle precious resources, the European Union passed two directives that have a significant impact on electrical and electronic equipment products in 2002, namely the WEEE Directive and the ROHS Directive.
2. Which products need WEEE certification?
The WEEE Directive applies to electrical and electronic products: large household appliances; small household appliances; IT and communication equipment; consumer electronic and electrical equipment; lighting equipment; electrical and electronic tools; toys, leisure and sports equipment; medical equipment; detection and control instruments; automatic Vending machines etc.
3. Why do we need to recycle registration?
Germany is a European country with very strict environmental protection requirements. Electronic recycling laws play a vital role in soil pollution and groundwater protection. All domestic electronics manufacturers in Germany required registration as early as 2005. With the continuous improvement of Amazon’s strategic position in global business, overseas electronic devices continue to flow into the German market through Amazon. In response to this situation, on April 24, 2016, the German environmental protection department issued a law specifically for e-commerce, requiring Amazon to be obliged to notify overseas e-commerce sellers selling on the Amazon platform to register electronic equipment recycling, before obtaining the WEEE electronic equipment recycling code , Amazon must order merchants to stop selling.
