Article 15 of Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE Directive) requires producers to provide information free of charge about preparation for re-use and treatment for each type of EEE placed on the market.

To better respond to recyclers’ needs, APPLiA and DIGITALEUROPE created I4R, the Information for Recyclers Platform, where recyclers can access recycling information at product category level

The WEEE Forum, an international association of producer responsibility organisations and a centre of competence, hosts and maintains the platform. EuRIC is on the advisory board. 

Recycling information is linked to the presence and location of materials and components in electronic waste that require separate treatment. There are now 47 product fiches in six product categories.

Scope

At the request of the European Commission, the European Environment Agency (EEA) has produced EU country profiles that offer an updated view of circular economy policies being implemented at a national level, with a particular focus on elements that go beyond EU mandatory elements, and best practice with a focus on policy innovation.

While implementing the EU Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP 2020), Member States are encouraged to advance circularity at a national level by adopting policies and initiatives that go beyond EU regulations, while preserving the Single Market.

These circular economy country profiles are based on information reported by the Eionet network and, particularly, its Group on Circular Economy and Resource Use in the second quarter of 2022.
