Description

The new EU legislation (Directive 2002/96/EC) regarding the collection and recycling of Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) will come into effect on the 13 August 2005. It will mean that producers of EEE will have to finance the end-of-life recycling and recovery costs of all their products. The plastic industry may have to adapt to the product design changes that OEMs are likely to introduce, but it may also have to compete with the forecasted amount of recycled plastic that will become available in the market. An increase in the amount and quality of recycled plastics, together with lower prices, could mean a serious threat to the plastic producers already struggling with rising prices and tougher legislation.
