EU targets electronics
On this page you can see to which extent Denmark complies with the EU environmental targets for producer responsibility for electronics.
Note that the collection rate for electronics is calculated on the basis of an average of the ‘previous’ three years’ quantities placed on the market. Thereby, the calculation methods for WEEE and BAT are not the same; the year of the data (in this case 2020) is not included for WEEE, whereas it is included in the calculation of the average of batteries collection.
Presumably, this difference in calculation methods is due to the different useful lives of the products in question.
On 24 July 2012 a revised WEEE Directive entered into force. New targets had been adopted for the EU Member States’ collection and environmental treatment of waste from electrical and electronic equipment. Thus, from 2016 it is a requirement that Member States collect at least 45% of ALL electrical equipment placed on the market at the end of its useful life. The previous target was 4 kilograms per capita and only for equipment for use in private households. The collection target will gradually increase up to 65% in the years up to 2019. As to efficiency of environmental treatment, recycling and recovery must increase by 5 % in the years 2015-2018.
