</p><p>The 2013 Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations seek
to reduce the amount of WEEE going to landfill by encouraging its separate collection
and subsequent treatment, re-use, recovery, recycling and environmentally sound disposal.</p><p>Defra
has issued statutory guidance on the best available collection, treatment, recovery
and recycling techniques (BATRRT) for WEEE at approved authorised treatment facilities.
