· 1. Introduction. Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a term used to cover all items of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) or their parts that have been discarded by their owner as waste without the intention of being reused (Step Initiative 2014).This waste stream is characterized by its resource recovery potential and its reuse potential being preparation for reuse
There is a relationship between the consumption of electrical and electronic equipment and the generation of electronic waste. For example e-waste generation is high in the US China Japan Australia and countries in Europe where the consumption of electrical equipment is high making up about 8 of the solid waste streams in these countries 27 68 69 .
