| The existing “WEEE Directive” has established a strict regime of mandatory collection and recycling of electrical and electronic waste in the European Union. On its basis, industry has created collection schemes which allow consumers to return their used e-waste free of charge. As a direct result of this legislation, one third of electrical and electronic waste in the European Union is separately collected and appropriately treated. The Recast of the WEEE Directive will raise the bar for industry considerably. It imposes collection rates of up to 85% ofWEEE, thereby increasing the current collection target of 4kg per person per year to 20kg in 2020. This webinar will explain the changes that the Recast WEEE Directive will bring about for producers and importers ofelectrical and electronic equipment wanting to place their products on the European market. It will cover the topics ofharmonization of registration and reporting and the relationship between the new WEEE Directive and other environmental legislation, such as the REACH Regulation, the new Waste Framework Directive and the Ecodesign Directive. |
