What they argued
Secondary materials, especially materials such as rare earth elements, gallium and indium, that are needed in renewable energy technologies or high-tech applications, make a marginal contribution to meeting materials demand.
"Eco-modulation of fees for ‘greener’ products" (2021) argues that it is inherently impossible to have a wide, comprehensive, and ambitious EPR scheme where EPR financial contributions do not exceed the costs that are necessary to provide waste management services in a cost-efficient way, and yet has a discernible effect on consumer and producer behaviour.
Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) (hereinafter “the Directive”) says that from 2019, the minimum collection rate to be achieved annually shall be 65%(1) of the average weight of electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market in the three preceding years in the Member State concerned, or alternatively 85% of WEEE Generated (WG) on the territory of that Member State.
Waste of electrical and electronic appliances (WEEE) and plastics thereof are subject to many regulations dealing with e.g. WEEE, waste, persistent organic pollutants etc., and indirectly affected by other product- related legislation, such as rules on eco-design, restriction and control of hazardous substances, etc.
