According to the EU WEEE Directive: "The objectives of the Community's environment policy are, in particular, to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment, protect human health and utilise Natural Resources prudently and rationally. That policy is based on the precautionary principle and principles that preventive action should be taken, that environmental damage should as a priority be rectified at source and that the polluter should pay... the achievement of sustainable development calls for significant changes in current patterns of development, production, consumption and behaviour and advocates, inter alia, the reduction of wasteful consumption of natural resources and the prevention of pollution. It mentions waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) as one of the target areas to be regulated, in

view of the application of the principles of prevention, recovery and safe disposal of waste."

So as an overview the advantages of WEEE, as described by the European Parliament and Council, is to reduce the pollution and damage to living creatures and the environment caused by waste electronics and electricals by placing the responsibility for safe disposal on the producers of electronic and electrical goods.
