The generation and processing of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) has given rise to numerous challenges and accordingly preventive approaches, due to governmental and environmental regulatory pressure. Yet, main requirements and practices are standard between different countries. This paper investigates the facilities of WEEE processing using a German case study, as grounded in EU legislature. This case study was compared to another case study in Serbia, with different processing steps and requirements. The facilities available in both countries were assessed to report contrasts between the two. Furthermore, the data requirements and standardisation approaches are briefly outlined as part of recommendations for implementation in WEEE facilities for processes, standardisation and optimisation based on identified gaps in Serbia WEEE data management.
