Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), also known as E-waste, is end of life Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE), i.e. items that require electric currents or electromagnetic fields in order to operate. The EA reported[1] that 1.9 million tonnes of EEE was placed on the market in the UK in 2024, with 504,143 tonnes of WEEE collected.

Overview
Background
WEEE was first introduced by the WEEE Directive in 2002 to address the environmental impacts of unwanted electrical and electronic equipment at end-of-life and disposal. WEEE is classed as either household (primarily EWC 20 01 35 and 20 01 36) or non-household (EWC 16 02 09* to 16). The objective of the Directive and its transposed legislation is to promote recycling and minimise waste by putting the emphasis for end-of-life treatment and recovery on the original producers or distributors of the items. In the 2019-21 House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee Report[2] it identifies the UK as the second highest generator of E-waste per person in the world, after Norway, at 23.9kg per person.
In 2020 a parlimentary enquiry called for a number of changes to improve the recycling of WEEE including the reporting by value rather than weight[3].
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013 (as amended) is the underpinning UK legislation which were amended in the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (Amendment, etc.) Regulations 2025[4]. The 2025 amendment extended responsibility to online marketplaces and added Vapes to the categories of WEEE.
Guidance was updated by the EA in August 2025 on what WEEE is covered by the WEEE Regulations[5].
Categories
The regulations identify 15 broad categories of WEEE, including:
- Large household appliances e.g. fridges, cookers, microwaves, washing machines and dishwashers
- Small household appliances e.g. vacuum cleaners, irons, toasters and clocks
- IT and telecommunications equipment – e.g. personal computers, copying equipment, telephones and pocket calculators
- Consumer equipment e.g. radios, televisions, hi-fi equipment, camcorders ad musical instruments
- Lighting equipment e.g. straight and compact fluorescent tubes and high intensity discharge lamps
- Electrical and electronic tools – e.g. drills, saws and sewing machines, electric lawnmowers
- Toys, leisure and sports equipment e.g. electric trains, games consoles and running machines
- Medical devices e.g. (non infected) dialysis machines, analysers, medical freezers and cardiology equipment
- Monitoring and control equipment e .g. smoke detectors, thermostats and heating regulators
- Automatic dispensers e.g. hot drinks dispensers and money dispensers[6].
Recycling of WEEE is a specialist part of the waste and recycling industry; it is a rapidly growing sub-sector due largely to the implementation of the original WEEE Directive[6]. WEEE generally contains a mixed variety of materials, potentially including hazardous ones (e.g. cadmium, arsenic or lead), making it problematic to manage and meaning the treatment methods for WEEE vary massively depending on the technology used and the relevant category[6]. It can include Persistent Organic Pollutants, or POPs, which require specific segregation and compliance with specific regulations[7].
The EA updated their public register of producers and approved exporters, authorised treatment facilities and producer compliance schemes regularly[8] and the tonnage collected on a quarterly basis.The current national target for WEEE collection is 65% of the average of the previous three years placed on the market (or 85% of WEEE generated).
Macro Tonnage
The most recent information published by DEFRA [9] is summarized in the pie chart below, with 567,692 tonnes of collected discarded equipment waste identified in the UK in 2020 (WEEE being part of this category and the broader tonnage summarized in UK Waste Tonnage). The most recent data from the EA[1] indicated that 1.6 million tonnes of Household Electronic and Electrical Equipment and 0.3 million tonnes of Non-Household Electronic and Electrical Equipment were placed on the market in 2020, of which 466,419 tonnes were collected and reported under the WEEE Regulations (as shown in the table below for January 2020 to December 2020)

Tonnage Collected under the WEEE Regulations
The following tables capture the tonnage collected for the years 2020 to 2024 reported by the EA[1]
