2. 4thITU Green Standards Week Main content • The EU WEEE Directive • China WEEE • 3R assessment

3. 4thITU Green Standards Week The EU WEEE Directive (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive 2002/96/EC of January 27, 2003； published in the OJ L 37 of 13. February 2003 • 10 categories • establish recover system and collection target(55-75%)

4. 4thITU Green Standards Week What is the WEEE Directive? • The WEEE Directive seeks to reduce the environmental impact of electrical & electronic equipment at the end of its use. • The Directive aims to: Increase recovery & recycling of WEEE Improve the environmental performance throughout the life cycle of WEEE Implement producer responsibility for WEEE

5. 4thITU Green Standards Week WEEE Directive Product Categories • The Directive applies to all electrical and electronic equipment placed on the market falling in to the following 10 categories: • Large household appliances • Small household appliances • IT & telecommunication equipment • Consumer equipment • Lighting equipment • Electrical and electronic tools • Toy, leisure and sports equipment • Medical devices • Monitoring and control instruments • Automatic dispensers

6. 4thITU Green Standards Week WEEE Directive Product Categories • The WEEE Directive applies to the 10 product categories that fall into the following voltage ranges: • Up to 1,000 v AC • Up to 1,500 v DC

7. 4thITU Green Standards Week Main Requirements of the Directive • The Directive requires arrangements to be made for: • Collection of EEE at end-of life • Treatment of EEE at end-of-life • Recovery and recycling of EEE • Producer financing for obligations to the WEEE Directive • Producer registration • Product marking and provision of information

8. 4thITU Green Standards Week Marking Obligations & Information • Information • Producers required to provide information to assist with • Reuse, recycling and recovery of EEE • Applicable to EEE placed on the market after 13th August 2005

9. 4thITU Green Standards Week Marking Obligations & Information • Marking Requirements • EEE placed on the market after 13th August 2005 must be marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol. • Must identify the producer

10. 4thITU Green Standards Week The Wheeled Bin Symbol • The Directive refers to the CENELEC standard for product marking of EEE. • EN 50419:2005 • The black bar signifies that the product was place on the market after the 13th August 2005.

11. 4thITU Green Standards Week The EU WEEE Recast Directive 2012/19/EU • “WEEE 1” “WEEE 2” • WEEE 1 – the old Directive 2002/96/EC has applied to certain categories of EEE since 13 August 2005 • WEEE 2 – the text of a revised Directive was published in July 2012 and the new requirements applies from 14 February 2014

12. 4thITU Green Standards Week WEEE Recast - Main Issues • Scope • New Member State collection target • Higher recovery, reuse & recycling targets • Annex on Shipments

13. 4thITU Green Standards Week Scope New Directive • The original ten Categories for 6 years on a ‘closed’ scope basis, (plus the addition of Photovoltaic Panels in Category 4). • Then streamlined to six Categories on an ‘open’ scope basis - • Temperature Exchange Equipment; Screens & Monitors; Lamps; Large Equipment; Small Equipment; Small IT and telecommunication equipment old Directive Ten Categories • Large household appliances • Small household appliances • IT & Telecomms equipment • Consumer equipment • Lighting equipment • Electrical & Electronic Tools • Toys, Leisure & Sports equipment • Medical Devices • Monitoring & Control Instruments • Automatic Dispensers

14. 4thITU Green Standards Week No change to the definition of EEE • Unlike RoHS, no change or expansion to the definition of electrical and electronic equipment • ‘EEE’ means equipment which is dependent on electric currents or electromagnetic fields in order to work properly ….etc

15. 4thITU Green Standards Week New Member State Collection Target New Directive • Before 2016, each Member State shall ensure that it achieves the target of 4kgper capita or the same amount of WEEE in weight as an average of the weight that was collected over the three preceding years • After four years, a move from a minimum of 4kgper capita to 45% POTM basis • After seven years, this target will change to either 65% POTM or 85% of WEEE Generated Old Directive • 4kg on average per inhabitant per year of separately collected WEEE from private households

16. 4thITU Green Standards Week Recovery, reuse & recycling targets New Directive • The introduction of 70% recovery and 50% recycling for Category 8 immediately • All targets to be increased by 5% after three years, with a new 80% recycling target for gas discharge lamps • Within four years, the Commission will examine the case for a mandatory 5% reuse target to be shown separately from the recycling target level Old Directive • 80% recovery and 75% recycling for Categories 1 and 10 • 75% recovery and 65% recycling for Categories 3 and 4 • 70% recovery and 50% recycling for Categories 2, 5, 6, 7 and 9 • No targets for Category 8

17. 4thITU Green Standards Week Annex on Shipments • Introduction of minimum monitoring requirements for the shipment of WEEE/used EEE • New Annex IV addresses widespread concerns over illegal exports • Interface with Waste Shipment Regulations

18. 4thITU Green Standards Week Main content • The EU WEEE Directive • China WEEE • 3R assessment

20. 4thITU Green Standards Week China WEEE Regulations on the Management of the Recovery and Treatment of Waste Electronic and Electrical Products — Decree No.551 of the State Council of the People's Republic of China • Promulgated on February 25, 2009 and came into force on January 1, 2011 • China WEEE is an administrative law, it is established by the State Council ; • National Development and Reform Commission is responsible to draft it; • Totally five chapters, 35 Articles.

21. 4thITU Green Standards Week promulgation of China WEEE： The situation that China does not have any regulations on waste EE was ended; Meet the requirements of new situation, especially EU WEEE Directive; Push electronic and electrical enterprises to pay attention to environment protection and resource saving, it will be helpful to sustainable development of EE industry; It require the government by law to regulate the recover market of waste EE; Help the development of comprehensive using of waste EE

22. 4thITU Green Standards Week • China WEEE established three legislative system • main requirements of China WEEE • progress of China WEEE

23. 4thITU Green Standards Week China WEEE requires to establish “three systems”: • the first: establish “Catalogue management system” for the recover and treatment of WEEE; • the second: establish “qualification license system” of WEEE treatment facilities • the third: establish “recover and treatment fund system” for WEEE

24. 4thITU Green Standards Week “China WEEE requirements” Establish “catalogue for the recover and treatment of WEEE”; WEEE treatment facilities should get “qualification license”; related manufacturer, importer or agent of EEE should pay “recover and treatment fund for WEEE”.

25. 4thITU Green Standards Week Progress of China WEEE (1) • National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Environmental Protection and etc. established the first batch of Catalogue, and it was issued by State Council. • The first batch of Catalogue: refrigerator, washing machine, air conditioner, TV, computer. • Considering adding more products to the Catalogue.
