The Environmentally Sound Management of Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment from Private Households
• The main objective of the proposed project is to assist the Central and Eastern Europe countries in the implementation of certain provisions of WEEE Directives.
• Specific objectives of the proposed project are as follows: to analyse the definition of WEEE from private
households, in particular the nature and quantity of WEEE from commercial, industrial, institutional and other sources which is similar to that from private households, and to propose the method of clear classification of WEEE.

The Environmentally Sound Management of Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment from Private Households
to define the obligations of a holder of taken-back electrical and electronic equipment more precisely and to determine the moment, when the taken-back electrical and electronic equipment becomes the waste electrical and electronic equipment
to raise public awareness and to motivate citizens to separate WEEE, especially small household appliances which currently ends-up in a mixed municipal waste.
