Since July 1, 2015, companies are no longer allowed to process electrical and electronic equipment if they are not WEEELABEX certified. This WEEELABEX standard was established by the Dutch government and aims to effectively, efficiently and properly process or dispose of e-waste according to high quality requirements. This protects public health, safety and the environment, and stops cross-border shipments to non-certified companies with the WEEELABEX standard.
