Recital 6

(6) Taking into account technical and economic feasibility,
the most effective way of ensuring the significant reduction of
risks to health and the environment related to those substances
which can achieve the chosen level of protection in the Com-
munity is the substitution of those substances in electrical and

the most effective way of ensuring the significant reduction of
risks to health and the environment related to those substances
which can achieve the chosen level of protection in the Com-
munity is the substitution of those substances in electrical and
electronic equipment by safe or safer materials. Restricting
the use of these hazardous substances will enhance the
possibilities and economic profitability of recycling of
WEEE and decrease the negative health impact on
workers in recycling plants.
