This report, commissioned by Defra and managed by Valpak and WRAP, provides data on electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) placed on the UK market (POM) and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) generated. Covering a baseline year of 2015 with projections to 2020, the study ensures robust evidence for compliance with recycling regulations.
The analysis considers the impacts of upcoming legislation and EU Directive targets, including 2016 and 2019 compliance thresholds. It also reviews scoping changes, categorisation updates, large domestic appliances in the light iron stream, and plastics within the EEE/WEEE supply chain. Findings guide both government and industry planning.
