WEEE/RoHS

WEEE Recycling

The EU disposes of 9-10 Million tons WEEE per year. WEEE substitutes 4% of the total municipal waste stream and this ratio increases 3-5% in each year. More than 90% of the WEEE is disposed today without any pre-treatment. In order to assist EU member states to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment, protect human health and utilize natural resources prudently and rationally, Harmonic strives to recycle in compliance with the WEEE Directive any of its products that cannot be re-used.
