EEE Put on market is defined as any supply of a product for distribution, consumption or use on the market in the course of a commercial activity, whether in return for payment or free of charge.

E-waste generated is defined as the amount of discarded electrical or electronic products (e-waste) due to consumption within national territory in a given reporting year, prior to any collection, reuse, treatment, or export.
