EU Electronics Recycling

Hi All:

Does anyone know of a/the mandate in the UE that requires electronics manufactures to provide a means for consumers to return obsolete product to the manufacturer for recycling purposes?

We're currently considering implimenting a program at our US company that allows just that.

--Thanks, Chris

Yep, it's called the Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive:
