69 Introduction
70 This document aims to assist organisations in:
71 — achieving effective and efficient treatment of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in order
72 to prevent pollution and minimize emissions;
73 — promoting increased recycling to facilitate a circular economy;
74 — promoting high quality recovery;
75 — preventing inappropriate disposal of WEEE and fractions thereof;
76 — assuring protection of human health and safety, and the environment;
77 — preventing shipments of WEEE to operators whose operations fail to comply with this normative
78 document or a comparable set of requirements.
79 This document supports the objectives of the Community's environment policy. These aim to preserve, protect
80 and improve the quality of the environment, protect human health and utilize natural resources prudently and
81 rationally. That policy is based on the precautionary principle and the maxims that preventive action to
82 minimize environmental damage should, where possible, be rectified at source and the polluter should pay.
83 The requirements of this document are applicable to all types of WEEE. It is supported by other standard
