D.10. Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

“By-law on the Management of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment” was regulated wit-
hin the framework of the harmonisation of the legislation of Türkiye with the current European
Union legislation (2012/19 / EU, WEEE), taking into account our national scale strategies and
policies, and published in the Official Gazette dated 26/12/2022 and numbered 32055.

With the said By-law, it is aimed to regulate the administrative, legal and technical procedures
and principles for the following for the protection of the environment in a sustainable way:

y Based on the principles of circular economy and resource efficiency, determination of reuse,
recycling and recovery methods and targets to prevent the generation of waste electrical
and electronic equipment (WEEE), to collect WEEE separately when it cannot be prevented,
and to reduce the amount of WEEE to be disposed of,

y Managing waste electrical and electronic equipment within a specific management system,
including the zero waste management system, in a way that does not harm the environ-
ment and human health,

y Determining the framework for the implementation of extended producer responsibility for
producers of electrical and electronic equipment.

Within the collection systems defined in the “By-law on the Management of Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment” for the collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment, obli-
gations are imposed on environmentally licensed facilities, distributors, producers and compe-
tent authorities.

nerators to the MoEUCC Waste Declaration System (TABS) and includes the waste data gene-
rated at the waste generator’s facility in the declaration year and sent to the waste treatment
facility for recovery/disposal.
