The WEEE directive: "The directive imposes the responsibility for the disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment on the manufacturers of such equipment." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_Electrical_and_Electronic_Equipment_Directive All EU member states are supposed to have signed up, but it's not clear to me whether the UK has yet.

We have an abundance of knowledge regarding the challeneges we face and this could prove to be not just a "Green" issue but a proper commercial opportunity. What it needs isn't political will but a major commercial player (Tesco, Waitrose, Amazon, Apple??) to be the first mover and this will be the crack in the dam. Any suggestions for the most fearless company who would be brave enough to carry out an End Of Life initiative?? Love well thought out and viable solutions like these.
