EU Parliament finalizes first reading draft of revised WEEE directive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. 03\/ 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 3, 2011, the European Parliament held its first reading vote on the draft update to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive. The report, submitted by Karl-Heinz Florenz, was ultimately approved. The European Parliament agreed to set stricter targets for reuse, recycling, and regeneration in the revised WEEE Directive. The new directive will apply to all types of waste electrical and electronic equipment, but exclude vehicles, military materials, and stationary industrial equipment. In the draft amendment, European Parliament members required that member states achieve an 85% collection rate for electronic waste starting in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
