The WEEE Forum
The WEEE Forum is the world's largest multi-national centre of competence as regards operational know-how concerning the management of waste electrical and electronic equipment (or ‘WEEE’, for short). It is a not-for-profit association of 46 WEEE producer responsibility organisations across the world and was founded in April 2002.
Through exchange of best practice and access to its reputable knowledge base toolbox, the WEEE Forum enables its members to improve their operations and be known as promoters of the circular economy.
Since their foundation, the PRO's of the WEEE Forum have collected, de-polluted and recycled or sent for preparation for re-use 28.5mt of WEEE
The WEEE Forum has designed and developed a number of platforms and software tools, allowing the producer responsibility organisations to benchmark their operations and have access to key data and intelligence.
The WEEE Forum is a vibrant community of producer responsibility organisations that are committed to tackling the challenge of electrical and electronic waste. For a conversation about what we do, please contact our Director General, Pascal Leroy.
Our history
In April 2002, six WEEE producer responsibility organisations with operations in Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland founded the WEEE Forum. Today, the organisation counts forty-six WEEE producer responsibility organisations from 25 countries. All organisations are open, non-profit oriented compliance schemes run on behalf of producers or producer associations. This new European association allowed the compliance schemes to share best practices and to learn from one another.
