Description
Summary:The transition to a more circular economy is making progress in most areas, although the pace of change differs significantly from sector to sector. In this context, electrical and electronic equipment for household and personal use (classified and listed in Annexes III and IV to Directive (EU) 2012/19) makes a discordant note. The circularity of technical products implies the extension of the duration of use, the shared use, the facilitation of repair and upgrading, redistribution, refurbishment, specialized collection, and recycling. If at present the emphasis is on proper waste management, for the future, there will be a focus on incorporating circularity into the conception and design of products.
