"The quantity of waste electrical and electronic equipment is steadily increasing each year. It thus raises many health and environmental issues when it is disposed of or reprocessed badly. All of these appliances – computers, televisions, mobile phones and household appliances – also result in the wastage of what are at times scarce raw materials. Today, only a third of this waste is collected and treated properly. This amount must therefore be increased.
The proposed text enables us to tackle several aspects so as to ensure the proper disposal of electrical and electronic waste, whether it be in terms of the collection rate (85% of collected waste), the collection target, the delegation of responsibility to consumers, the equipment type, or collection, treatment and recycling standards. It is equally important to prevent illegal shipment outside the European Union and in particular to development countries. Increasing the number of collection points should enable citizens to dispose of their waste more easily. This is a further step towards the protection of the environment and people’s health."@en1
