To provide incentives for the introduction of environmental considerations in the design phase of products, the Directive charges producers of electrical and electronic equipment for the expense of handling, recovering and disposing of equipment at the end of its life. This Directive was acknowledge in Italian law through Legislative Decree 151/2005, which requires producers of such equipment to establish a national system for the collection, transport and ecological handling of products at the end of their life, financing and managing its operation. It also requires marking and supplying information to users.
