In view of the transposition of Directive 2018/851, amending Directive 2008/98 on waste, by EU Member States, EUCOLIGHT, with some 15 years of experience on extended producer responsibility (EPR) in the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) lighting sector, and with EPR organisations as members in 19 different Member States, calls on national legislators to ensure that the transposition of Article 8a on general minimum requirements for extended producer responsibility schemes, leads to an efficient level playing field, reducing costs, boosting performance while reducing distortions in the waste market.
