The minimum collection rates for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) are set out in the WEEE Directive in the European Union. Beginning in 2019, the most stringent collection target of WEEE was enacted in most EU Member States. Article 7 of the WEEE Directive states that the minimum collection rate to be achieved annually by a Member State shall be either 65% of the average weight of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) placed on the market (POM) in the three preceding years or 85% of WEEE Generated on the territory of a Member State. The WEEE Forum members have identified difficulties in reaching the targets in almost all Member States and have contracted UNITAR to undertake this study, which addresses: • an analysis and in-depth review of the current situation in each country, • an analysis of factors that influence the WEEE collection in order to picture the actual WEEE management across Europe, • draw options for future improvement, • an in-depth review of the methodologies for target-setting, as provided by the WEEE Directive. In this study, the methodology for measuring the collection targets, WEEE flows, and the impact of national implementation of the WEEE legislation uses a combination of an internationally recognised framework for WEEE statistics. This methodology was developed by the SCYCLE team which is co-hosted by the United Nations University and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research. Data and information from official statistics, literature, studies, and surveys with WEEE Forum members and official representatives of the Working Group on Waste Statistics have been harmonized and integrated. The quantitative analysis in this study has been performed using the most recent available data, usually from 2017 or 2018, and it is assumed that the data largely resembles WEEE management in 2019, when new collection targets are officially enforced.
