As a company doing business internationally, you face a set of unique challenges due to the implementation of the WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU and the resulting individual legislations in your respective European sales countries:

- More than 28 relevant legal texts and over 100 different take-back systems do exist in the European countries.
- Only a few laws are available in English, the texts are published in more than 20 different languages.
- The legislation is inconsistent, for example in terms of the definition, which devices are covered by the respective national legislation.
- There is a high risk of unintentional non-compliance and its associated penalties.
