Conclusions
• There is not any take back system for WEEE from households
• It is not possible to reach the 4 kg take back quota by end of 2006
• There is not enough capacity of dismantlers, recyclers
• Without legislation background the financing will be not solved
• The Hungarian WEEE decree will be come out in April 2004
• BAYLOGI made a reference for environmental sound solution
