EPR Grand Challenge | 20 years on
The WEEE Forum turned 20 in 2022 and so did the WEEE Directive. Many reasons to celebrate, but also to reflect on the past and ponder the future.
On 7 December 2022, we gathered over 170 experts representing all the actors of the e-waste value chain at the WEEE Forum's EPR Grand Challenge Conference, to discuss the next steps for global EPR.
14 October 2023 | International E-Waste Day
You can recycle anything with a plug, battery or cable!
International E-waste Day is a yearly awareness raising celebration initiated by the WEEE Forum and its members and takes place every year on 14th of October. It aims to highlight the growing issue of electronic waste and promote responsible e-waste management.
This year’s edition will highlight the issue of invisible e-waste - the electronic items that often go unrecognized and are not properly recycled within the appropriate waste stream.
Our members
There are currently 50 members of the WEEE Forum. These members are not-for-profit WEEE producer responsibility organisations (or ‘producer compliance schemes’) mainly in Europe, but we have recently expanded globally and are now pleased to include members from six different continents.
Our members represent electrical and electronic equipment manufacturers covering the whole spectrum of production from small electronic devices, such as cellphones, through to large household appliances like refrigerators and other large items, for example photovoltaic panels.
Collected WEEE
Since their founding, the producer responsibility organisations of the WEEE Forum have collected, de-polluted and recycled or sent for preparation for re-use 35 million tonnes of WEEE. More than 3.1 million tonnes of this was collected in 2021.
In addition, our members operate over 114,000 WEEE collection points and two thirds of them are market leaders in their countries.
