Some success in reducing WEEE collection targets for 2020 - is this enough?

03 April 2020

Please find attached the final household WEEE collection targets as approved by Ministers which has just been confirmed by Defra. You’ll see following interventions highlighting our industry concerns, the targets have been revised downwards for categories 1-12, aligning with actual collections in 2019.

BEAMA will be reviewing these in light of the concerns raised to ministers during March with the JTA,  and would welcome feedback from members as to whether these are achievable targets.  Especially in light of the current COVID 19 crisis and impact this may be having on Treatment Facilities.
