North America : Canada
As the concern for the volume of electronic waste grows, a number of Provinces in Canada have passed
regulations since 2006 to divert electronics waste from the landfills and to protect the environment. These
waste diversion regulations require manufacturers of covered electronic devices to participate in
approved electronic product stewardship programs. The programs allow consumers and businesses to
drop off eligible electronic devices for recycling, free of charge at numerous depots throughout the
Province.

2002/95/EC, became European Law in February 2003. The WEEE Directive set collection, recycling and
recovery targets for all types of electrical products. And later the WEEE Recast Directive 2012/19/EU

appropriately treat WEEE that the producer places on the EU market after 13th August 2005.
