Ceced position on Waste package

2019

circular_economyIn view of the current discussions on the Circular Economy and the Commission’s proposals on waste legislation, Ceced has wrote a position paper about the e-waste recycling rate calculation method that, according to the Association, needs to support the transition towards a circular economy. EEE producers, recyclers and compliances schemes call for consistency in the calculation of recycling rates. In view of the current discussions on the Waste package, especially on the Waste Framework Directive, Ceced, DigitalEurope, Eera and the Weee Forum recommend the use of the calculation method for Weee laid down in EN 50625-1 standard pursuant to article 8.5 and complementing article 11.2 of the Weee Directive. Ceced position paper is published on the Association website. www.ceced.eu.
