10 years that have changed the compliance and recycling landscape dramatically.

The 10th anniversary of the iPhone is not the only significant milestone in the electronics industry this year. It's been 10 years since the WEEE Directive was first introduced in the UK and, a decade on, we feel it's important to reflect on the dramatic impact the Regulations have had on producers, consumers, retailers, local authorities and waste treatment operators.
