	abstract = {<p>An European directive established that all EU countries must have, until the end of 2006, a recovery network for the electric and electronic equipment waste (WEEE). In Portugal, a group of producers formed a non-profit organization to design and manage this waste now. In this work, a model developed previously by the authors to design and plan a generic WEEE network is presented and applied to the Portuguese case. The results obtained are discussed and compared with the network that is currently operating.</p>
