Content of the presentation WEEE collection targets as set by WEEE directive 2012/19/EU Set-up of WEEE collection systems in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania Results of applied WEEE collection systems
WEEE collection targets set by directive 2012/19/EU Until 31 December 2015 at least 4 kilograms on average per inhabitant per year of WEEE from private households or the same amount of weight of WEEE as was collected in that Member State on average in the three preceding years, whichever is greater. From 2016, the minimum collection rate shall be 45 % calculated on the basis of the total weight of WEEE collected in a given year, expressed as a percentage of the average weight of EEE placed on the market in the three preceding years From 2019, the minimum collection rate shall be 65 % of the average weight of EEE placed on the market in the three preceding years, or alternatively 85 % of WEEE generated on the territory of that Member State.
WEEE collection targets set by directive 2012/19/EU By way of derogation ...Latvia, Lithuania... may, because of their lack of the necessary infrastructure and their low level of EEE consumption, decide to: (a) achieve, from 14 August 2016, a collection rate that is lower than 45 % but higher than 40 % of the average weight of EEE placed on the market in the three preceding years; and postpone the achievement of the collection rate referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1 until a date of their own choice which shall not be later than 14 August 2021.
