Weee Directive
As legislative preparations begin for the WEEE Directive recast,
expected to come into force next year, recommendations have been
submitted to the Department for Innovations & Skills (BIS) and the
Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) urging
ministers to introduce IPR within the UK WEEE system through a series of
measures including a weighting mechanism for eco-design. The
calls come from a dedicated working group, which sees IPR as a crucial
tool to encourage producers of WEEE to be more accountable for the
end-of-life treatment costs of their products through implementing
better design processes. One of the organisations involved in
the working group is NGO Waste Watch. Its business engagement manager
Claudia Kuss-Tenzer told edie that the WEEE Directive currently falls short of its original environmental aims and that IPR was one way to address this.
