Ensure that your business is not just compliant with current WEEE regulations but also ready for future developments in the EU’s Circular Economy Plan.
Essential to know for businesses with a focus on the European market, this plan is a cornerstone of the EU’s strategy for achieving a sustainable, low-carbon, resource-efficient economy.
Some of the areas of compliance and innovation we can help you with are:
The EU Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE Directive) aims to prevent or reduce the negative environmental effects resulting from the generation and management of WEEE. Its key purpose is to contribute to the prevention of WEEE and, in addition, the promotion of the re-use and recycling of such wastes.
All 27 EU Member States have transposed the EU WEEE Directive into national laws. There are many similarities among those national laws but also several significant differences. Companies selling into the EU may need to comply with those national laws in all Member States where they sell.
The EU adopted the Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) in March 2020. It’s one of the building blocks of the European Green Deal and it will impact how products are designed, promote circular economy processes, encourage sustainable consumption, and aim to ensure that waste is prevented and the resources used are kept in the EU economy for as long as possible.
The following implementation plan includes several actions related to the CEAP scheduled for the period 2020-22. Changes on Eco-design regulations and new legislation on the repairability of products are two examples of changes that will impact WEEE producers.
