Provide waste managers with additional information on the implementation of WEEE management requirements;
Ensure that all WEEE subject to producer responsibility is properly managed;
Ensure that standardised requirements cover the entire WEEE management process, from collection and transport to preparation for re-use and treatment;
Ensure that the above stages of WEEE management are carried out in an efficient and subsequent manner;
