CONSULTATION AND CALL FOR EVIDENCE ON WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

Report Packaging Data

Members may have missed that over the festive period the four UK governments published a very significant consultation, and an accompanying for a Call for Evidence on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

Regulations cover WEEE defined in 14 broad categories and further detail of what is and isn’t in scope can be found here.

This consultation and Call for Evidence proposes an increase in WEEE collection levels, including takeback in stores of waste electricals. They also seek views on future WEEE system governance arrangements as well as alternative ways of measuring how the system performs.

Whilst we appreciate that WEEE may not impact our members, it is worth highlighting this will all be paid for by ‘producer responsibility’. Meaning yet another cost businesses must absorb on top of everything else Extended Producer Responsibility brings. One wonders when this perception that businesses have an endless supply of funds will ever end! Certainly worth keeping a close watch over how EPR ‘develops’.

The consultation are Call for Evidence can be found at the links below and have a closing date of Thursday 7th March 2024:

Electrical waste: reforming the producer responsibility system – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
