  1. Waste no more – EfficientWayForward:The case of e-wasteMacaoInternationalEnvironmentalCo-operationForum & Exhibition (MIECF)

  2. Summary • Who are we? • Legislation and Policy • How it works • Results and performance: statistics 2012 • Portugal in the EU: statistics 2010 • Future: the new WEEE Directive • Shifting Paradigms

  3. Who are we? (APA’s competences related to waste) Portuguese EnvironmentAgency (APA, I.P.) MinistryofEnvironment, SpatialPlanningandEnergy • Develop and follow the execution of waste policies, strategies and plans; • Execute competencies of licensing and harmonization of procedures; preparing technical standards to waste management operations; and monitoring waste management activities. NationalAuthority for Waste

  4. Who are we? Shared Responsibilities Licensing Enforcement IGAMAOT Regional competentauthorities APA Official bodiesfromother Ministries ASAE ERSAR Regulation Economics Agricultural Health

  5. Legislation and Policy Management ofspecificwastestreams Source separation and collection of priority waste streams to ensure that it undergoes a specific treatment and to facilitate improve and increase recycling.

  6. Legislation and Policy ExtendedProducerResponsibility • Eachproducerisfinancially and/or physically responsible for the end-of-life management of its products. Why? Encouragingdesign and production of EEE that takes into full account facilitating repair, possible upgrading, re-use, disassembly and recycling. • How? • Producers fulfil their responsibilities: • Individually, providing a financial guarantee to prevent costs from falling on society or the remaining producers; • By joining a collective scheme, to which producers contribute proportionately.

  7. Legislation and Policy Management Entity 7

How it works CollectiveScheme Permit Targets Order n.º 353/2006 fromtheMinistersofenvironmentandeconomics Anual Collection rate ≥ 4kg per inhabitant per year of WEEE from private households Recovery ≥ 70%; ≥ 75%; or ≥ 80% according to eachcategoryof EEE Reuse andRecycling ≥ 50%; ≥ 65%; ≥ 75%; or ≥ 80% according to eachcategoryof EEE Order n.º 354/2006 fromtheMinistersofenvironmentandeconomics 12

  20. Portugal in the EU: statistics 2010 • Portugal achievedthehigher targets regarding reuse andrecyclingofthefollowingcategories: • Smallhouseholdappliances (95%) • Toys, leisureand sports equipment (96%) • Monitoringandcontrolinstruments (96%) • Portugal achievedthehighertargets regardingrecoveryofthefollowingcategories: • Consumerequipment (90%) • Lightingequipment (97%) • Electricalandelectronictools (96%) • Automaticdispensers (94%)

  21. Future: The new WEEE Directive • Opens Scope (all EEE) • Ambitious collection targets • Increased recovery targets • Priority to collect WEEE with higher environmental impact (e.g. containing ODS and FGG) • Obligation to report WEEE collected by all actors • Maximise preparing for reuse • Minimum quality standards for the treatment of WEEE • Exporter need to prove equivalentconditions for thetreatment of WEEE in non-EU facilities • Ecodesign requirements facilitating re-use and treatment of WEEE What’snew?

  22. Future: The new WEEE Directive • Minimum requirements for shipments of used EEE, avoiding illegal shipments to developing countries • Distributors (with EEE sales areas >400m2) provide for the collection of very small WEEE free of charge to end-users and with no obligation to buy EEE of an equivalent type • Producers could be allowed to show purchasers, on a voluntary, the costs of managing WEEE (visible-fee) • Producers should be reimbursed of contributions where EEE is transferred outside the territory • Producers supplying EEE by distance communication shall be registered through an authorised representative • Harmonization of register and reporting procedures across Member-States What’snew?

  23. Future: The new WEEE Directive Collection target 65%* (or85% WEEE generated) Collection Target 45%* Gradual evolution 4 kg/hab.year Actual 10 categories) Open Scope 6 Categories Recovery rates +5% Recovery rates adjusted to the 6 categories *expressed as a percentage of the average weight of EEE placed on the market in the 3 preceding years

  24. Shifting Paradigms Fromwaste to resources Average WEEE Composition (by weight) Source: EEA

  25. Shifting Paradigms Fromwaste to resources – The mobile phone case • A ton of used mobile phones (≈6,000 units) contains approximately: • 3.5 kilograms of silver, • 340 grams of gold, • 140 grams of palladium, • 130 kg of copper (battery containing another 3.5 grams of copper) Over 90% of the materials used in mobiles and accessories can be recovered.
