Does WEEE have to be done?
The EU region is very environmentally conscious, and electronic recycling laws play a crucial role in soil pollution and groundwater protection.
At present, Amazon implements a mandatory policy for companies selling cross-border e-commerce, and products that do not register the WEEE registration code will be forcibly removed from the shelves.
Among them, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and other countries with relatively developed economies have stricter implementation and management of the regulations. Germany is one of the countries with the strictest management, so German WEEE must be done!
