Producer responsibility
Producer responsibility is the act of making the 'producer of
a product' responsible for the product throughout its
entire life cycle, including the disposal at end of life.
In the past in the EU, the company or individual disposing
of waste was responsible for the cost associated with
disposal or recycling. The general public paid for waste
management services through council tax payments and
businesses paid waste collection companies to remove
and manage their waste. In the latest EU directives it will
be the 'producers' of for instance electronic and/or
electrical equipment who will be paying for the
management of their products once they become waste.

EU Directives
EU Directives are addressed to Member States,
and do not, as a rule, confer rights or impose
obligations on Community citizens. Rights and
obligations for citizens (and companies) flow
only from the measures enacted by the
authorities of the Member States to implement
the directives.
EU directives are implemented in EU member
states by means of national Decrees and
Regulations. (Besluiten en Richtlijnen)
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
EU Directives (2)
• Directives based on Article 95 of the European
Community Treaty, are intended to eliminate diverging
national laws that might constitute a barrier to trade or
distort conditions of competition in an economic sector.
This means that national legislation enacting it should be
the same in all Member States. However, the EU has no
influence on how Article 95 directives are enforced or the
penalties set by the individual countries.
• Directives based on Article 175 of the European
Community Treaty, allows the EU Commission and EU
Parliament to establish a set of common requirements
among the Member States, while also allowing each
country to go beyond the provisions of the Directive
when developing national legislation.

Who is the producer?
A producer is someone who manufactures
and sells under their own brand, resells
under their own brand or imports goods
into the;
• EU (RoHS – REACH – ECO design)
-> art 95 directives
• Local EU state (WEEE – Packaging - Batteries)
-> art 175 directives
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
Consumer product or Professional product?
B2C or B2B?
• from private households
• not from private households

RoHS & WEEE: Aims
The EC Directives on WEEE and RoHS aim to minimize
the environmental impact of electrical & electronic
equipment (EEE)
• WEEE Aims
– Reducing the waste from electrical and electronic equipment
– Increasing recovery and recycling rates of WEEE
– Improving the environmental performance of all stakeholders
involved in the life cycle of EEE
• RoHS Aims
– Reduce the environmental impact of EEE by restricting the use
of certain hazardous substances during manufacture
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
WEEE Directive
Directive 2002/96/EC, 27 January 2003, on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
• The WEEE directive, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment,
concentrates on the recyclability of electrical and electronic
products, and states that, from 13 August 2005 onwards, the
“producer” is required to finance the collection, treatment and
recycling and recovery of all WEEE that he “put’s on the market”.
• The WEEE Directive is an Article 175 Directive, which allows EU
member countries to develop their own implementation approaches.
In fact, the WEEE Directive sets minimum criteria that, for example,
member States may exceed if they wish. However, this means that
the actual obligations, and thus implementation strategies, for
producers may vary significantly among the member States into
which their products are put on the market.
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter

8. Medical devices with the exception of all implanted and infected products
9. Monitoring and control instruments (Smoke detector, thermostats, etc.)
10.Automatic dispensers (Automatic dispensers for drinks, etc.)
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
WEEE Directive Impact
Effective August 13, 2005, products covered
by Annex 1A of European Union directive
2002/96/EC on waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE) and
amending directive 2003/108/EC should
be marked according to the directive, and
systems need to be in place for the
collection, treatment, and recovery of the
products.
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
WEEE required actions by the “producer”
• Marking of applicable products (crossed out waste bin with block)&(producer name)
• Availability of information on the material content of the product and
disassembly instructions. (to be provided at request)
• Application for approval of the “waste management system” and method of
financing the system, individually by the producer or participation in an
approved collective system.
• Take back of EOL equipment (individually or via a collective system)
• Reporting of quantities per category “put on the market” and waste returns.
• Reporting of percentages of recycled materials (equal or better then defined goals)
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
RoHS Directive
Directive 2002/95/EC of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
• RoHS stands for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances and bans
the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium,
polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDEs) in electronical and electronic products. This
directive came into force on July 1, 2006.
• RoHS is an Article 95 Directive (also known as a "single market
Directive") and is therefore required to be interpreted and
implemented exactly the same by all EU member states. The goal of
the "single market" approach is to harmonize implementation and to
prevent multiple product design requirements and standards.
However, the EU has no influence over how it is enforced by
member states or how penalties are applied by the various member
states. Issues of scope and exemption interpretation are the
jurisdiction of the EU Court, where all disputes on these matters will
be ruled.
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
Products under scope of RoHS
The products under scope of the RoHS Directive must meet the definition of "EEE" in the
WEEE Directive and fall into one of the following categories: (appendix IA to
2002/96/EC)
1. Large household appliances (Refrigerators, washing machines, etc.)
2. Small household appliances (Vacuum cleaners, toasters, clocks, etc.)
3. IT and telecommunications equipment (Personal computers, printers, telephones, etc.)
4. Consumer equipment (Radio sets, television sets etc.)
5. Lighting equipment (Luminaries for fluorescent lamps no exception of luminaries in households,
low pressure sodium lamps etc.)
6. Electrical and electronic tools (Drills, sewing machines, etc.)
7. Toys, leisure and sports equipment (Electric trains, video games, coin slot machines, etc.)
8. Medical devices with the exception of all implanted and infected products
9. Monitoring and control instruments (Smoke detector, thermostats, etc.)
10. Automatic dispensers (Automatic dispensers for drinks, etc.)
Note:
Categories 8 and 9 should not be included under scope of the RoHS Directive
any time earlier than 2010.
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
RoHS Exemptions
The European Commission has appointed a Technical Adaptation
Committee (TAC) to review and vote on submitted requests for
exemptions to the RoHS Directive while taking into account
stakeholder comments. The exemptions range from the use of
hazardous substances in small components to all lead in solder for
finished products (e.g. network infrastructure devices). An important
development is that some exemptions have been or will be asked to
be removed as technology matures
‘Spare parts’ that are used for the repair or reuse of electrical and
electronic equipment put on the market before1 July 2006, (plus
capacity extensions and/or upgrades)
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
RoHS
Difficulties within the supply chain
Many difficulties arise in the supply chain as the "producers" (the one legally
responsible for compliance) are in most cases a distributor and not the
brand owner, and therefore must push back through the supply chain to
maintain their due diligence in compliance documentation. It is not
uncommon for a mistake or error to occur in the supply chain such as the
incorrect finish being applied to metal, the wrong resistor delivered to the
contract manufacturer, cadmium in the pigments of the product label, or an
intentional/unintentional error in certification of compliance. Verification of
RoHS compliance through spot checking and testing is recommended. For
exporting brand owners or suppliers, if their product is found to be non-
compliant while in a customer's possession, the exporting brand owner
faces loss of sales, returned product, and likely qualification of a
competitor's product.
The error made by Sony in 2001, in regards to a Dutch specific cadmium ban,
involved a single cable in their product. This error, made by their component
supplier, led to a multi-million dollar recall and significant negative press.
Confusion on the scope of RoHS within the supply chain (C6 or C9 ?)
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
Any impact on pre RoHS/WEEE products?
Yes, for WEEE.
Note that Article 9 of WEEE was amended. An interpretation of the amended version is as follows:
• For non-household WEEE from products put on the market before 13 August 2005 (historical
waste), the financing of the cost of collection, treatment and recycling of one equivalent product
shall be provided for by producers when supplying a new product. Any other historical non-
household WEEE will be the responsibility of the last user. Member States may, as an alternative,
provide that users other than private households also be made, partly or totally, responsible for
this financing and France has assigned responsibility to users for all historical non-household
WEEE.
No, in general for RoHS.
• However, availability of pre-RoHS spare parts could possibly become an issue, as could the
importation of second-hand semiconductor equipment into Europe. The EU FAQ defines “put on
the market” (from Article 10.3 of WEEE and Article 4.1 of RoHS) as “the initial action of making a
product available for the first time on the Community market,” and that “making a product available
for the first time” refers to “each individual piece of equipment and not to the launch of a new
product or product line.”
The EC’s lawyers recently stated that if a product was originally placed on the market
outside the EU before 1 July 2006 and then refurbished and placed on the EU market
after 1 July 2006 (the first time in the EU) then it must comply with RoHS.
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
WEEE & RoHS What is next?
USA, China, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, etc.?
Same requirements?
• There is considerable activity worldwide on related
legislation. Concern about chemicals in the environment
is widespread in many countries and extends well
beyond the six materials listed in RoHS. For example,
the Joint Industry Guide lists 24 material/substance
categories as being of concern. RoHS and WEEE are
only part of the beginning of new requirements.
• In the European Union itself, legislation is being written
based on a white paper on a strategy for a future
chemicals policy, at the heart of which is the new
European regulatory framework, REACH.

Batteries Directive
Directive 2006/66/EC of 6 September 2006 on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and
accumulators and repealing Directive 91/157/EEC
The primary objective of this Directive is to minimize the
negative impact of batteries and accumulators and waste
batteries and accumulators on the environment, thus
contributing to the protection, preservation and
improvement of the quality of the environment.
The legal base is therefore Article 175(1) of the Treaty.
However, it is also appropriate to take measures at
Community level on the basis of Article 95(1) of the
Treaty to harmonize requirements concerning the heavy
metal content and labeling of batteries and accumulators
and so to ensure the smooth functioning of the internal
market and avoid distortion of competition within the
Community.
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
Batteries Directive Scope & Impact
Batteries directive Scope
• Applies to ALL type of batteries, regardless of shape, volume, weight, material
composition or use.
• Most of the new requirements will be in force on September 26 2008.
Batteries directive Impact
• Marking (Crossed out Waste bin – Capacity – Symbol for hazardous substances)
• Design appliances in such a way that waste batteries can be readily removed
• Include instructions for safe removal of the batteries
• Inform the end-users of the type of the incorporated battery
• The prohibition of batteries containing hazardous substances (Cadmium 26/08/2008)
• Application for approval of the “waste management system” and method of financing
the system, individually by the producer or participation in an approved collective
system.
• Take back of EOL batteries (individually or via a collective system)
• Reporting of quantities per category “put on the market” and waste returns.
• Higher recycling objectives under the new decree and regulations
In the Netherlands there is one approved management system for used batteries “Stibat”
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
REACH Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals.
Directive 2006/121/EC of 18 December 2006 and Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006
REACH, which will oblige producers to register all those chemical
substances produced or imported above a total quantity of 1 tonne
per year. Registration will affect about 30,000 substances.
• For more hazardous substances, producers will have to submit a
substitution plan to replace them with safer alternatives. When no
alternative exists, producers will have to present a research plan
aimed at finding one.
• The regulation will enter into force progressively from June 2007,
and the registration process will take 11 years to be completed. The
calendar for registration depends on the risk of the substance and
the quantity produced. All covered substances will have to be
registered by 2018.
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
REACH Impact
• Producers / Importers / Distributors / Users
• Documentation
• Information
– Downstream – about the substance and its dangers
– Upstream – about the use of the substance
• Registration and authorization
• Innovation (alternative substances)
• Ban on selected hazardous substances
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
Packaging
Directive 2004/12/EC of 11 February 2004 amending Directive 94/62/EC
on packaging and packaging waste.
The purpose of this directive is so that;
• Packaging shall be produced in such a way that its volume and weight is
limited to the level required in order to maintain a good level of safety and
hygiene
• Producers shall arrange systems for the collection of all packaging waste
that arises
• Packaging waste shall be taken care of in an environmentally acceptable
way, and
• Meet the recycling objectives for collected packaging waste
Scope
• “Packaging” shall mean all products made of any materials of any nature to
be used for the containment, protection, handling, delivery and presentation
of goods, from raw materials to processed goods, from the producer to the
user or the consumer. 'Non-returnable` items used for the same purposes
shall also be considered to constitute packaging.
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
Packaging
Required actions by the “producer”
• Application for approval of the “waste management
system” and method of financing the system, individually
by the producer or participation in an approved collective
system.
• Take back of packaging waste (individually or via a
collective system)
• Reporting of quantities per category “put on the market”
and waste returns.
• Reporting of percentages of recycled materials (equal or
better then defined goals)
• Prevention plan for reducing volume and weight of
packaging waste.
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
ECO design
Directive 2005/32/EC of 6 July 2005 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign
requirements for energy-using products and amending Council Directive 92/42/EEC and
Directives 96/57/EC and 2000/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
ECO design is an Article 95 Directive (also known as a "single market
Directive") and is therefore required to be interpreted and implemented
exactly the same by all EU member states.
• Energy-using products (EuPs) account for a large proportion of the
consumption of natural resources and energy in the Community.
‘Ecodesign’ means the integration of environmental aspects into product
design with the aim of improving the environmental performance of the EuP
throughout its whole life cycle.
ECO design marking and declaration of conformity
• Before an EuP covered by implementing measures is placed on the market
and/or put into service, a CE conformity marking shall be affixed and a
declaration of conformity issued whereby the manufacturer or its authorised
representative ensures and declares that the EuP complies with all relevant
provisions of the applicable implementing measure.
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
ECO design scope
• The EuP shall represent a significant volume of sales and trade,
indicatively more than 200 000 units a year within the Community
according to most recently available figures.
• The EuP shall, considering the quantities placed on the market
and/or put into service, have a significant environmental impact
within the Community.
• The EuP shall present significant potential for improvement in terms
of its environmental impact without entailing excessive costs.
• The goal is to have implementation measures in force on Jan 1st
2008
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter

– Reuse of modules and components (RoHS)
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
Roll of the collective organizations
– Information distribution / Communication
– Represent collective interest to local
government en EU commissions
– Take over (some of) the operational
obligations
• Mandatory registration of the “system”
• Consolidated mandatory reporting
• Collective financing of the required activities
• Waste return logistics and recycling
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
Pro and Cons of a collective organization
– Pro
• Relief individual companies
– Administrative burden (registration and reporting)
– Eliminate financial risk (upfront collective financing)
– Operational tasks (return logistics)
– Con
• No individual motivation to “reduce” “improve”
• No financial motivator to innovate

Extended
Producer
Responsibility
a level
playing field?
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
The WEEE directive creates an
unequal playing field within the EU !
Article 175 Directives (some variation between EU States is permissible)
The implementation of WEEE in the different EU member states differs
significantly.
– Scope and its interpretation
• What products are included or excluded
– Execution
• Each EU member state has his own
– Obligations for registration (no EU wide registration possible)
– Return logistics methods and organization's)
– Inter EU business barrier
– EU import barrier
A Major issue for Corporations with EU wide operations
– They need to register in each individual EU member state with different sets of
information.
– Scope and interpretation is not consistent between EU member states.
– Inter EU goods transfers (pay and reclaim of “waste disposal levy”)
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
The Dutch implementation of the EU EPR directives
addressing EE Equipment, Batteries and
Packaging waste are an unnecessary burden for
“producers” whose products are always
disposed off as business waste!
– Consumer waste return flows are completely different from
Business waste return flows.
– Each business has to comply with existing regulations regarding
waste separation and disposal already.
– Business waste collection and disposal is already regulated.
– 80% or more of all EE Equipment, Batteries and Packaging
waste is consumer waste.
– Consistent enforcement of existing regulations would have done
“the job”
7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
The EU EPR directives WEEE and RoHS should
be completely separated from each other.
– WEEE is an Article 175 Directive, and some variation
between EU States is permissible. RoHS, however, is
an Article 95 Directive (single market) and so scope
and its interpretation should be the same in all EU
States.
– The connection between the two directives,
specifically about the scope of the directives are
conflicting and confusing.
– The aim’s and impact of the two directives are
completely different.
– The required actions by the “producer” are completely
different.
– In general the “producer” for WEEE is another entity
then the “producer” for RoHS

Extended Producer Responsibility

  • 1. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter
  • 2. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter Extended Producer Responsibility (in the EEE* industry) *Electric and Electronic Equipment • Henk de Folter – Manager Stichting RTA (Recycling Technologische Apparatuur) – Retired director of: Qualcomm Europe / Fluke Europe / Tektronix Benelux / Fluke Benelux
  • 3. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter Producer responsibility Producer responsibility is the act of making the 'producer of a product' responsible for the product throughout its entire life cycle, including the disposal at end of life. In the past in the EU, the company or individual disposing of waste was responsible for the cost associated with disposal or recycling. The general public paid for waste management services through council tax payments and businesses paid waste collection companies to remove and manage their waste. In the latest EU directives it will be the 'producers' of for instance electronic and/or electrical equipment who will be paying for the management of their products once they become waste.
  • 4. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter EU Directives EU Directives are addressed to Member States, and do not, as a rule, confer rights or impose obligations on Community citizens. Rights and obligations for citizens (and companies) flow only from the measures enacted by the authorities of the Member States to implement the directives. EU directives are implemented in EU member states by means of national Decrees and Regulations. (Besluiten en Richtlijnen)
  • 5. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter EU Directives (2) • Directives based on Article 95 of the European Community Treaty, are intended to eliminate diverging national laws that might constitute a barrier to trade or distort conditions of competition in an economic sector. This means that national legislation enacting it should be the same in all Member States. However, the EU has no influence on how Article 95 directives are enforced or the penalties set by the individual countries. • Directives based on Article 175 of the European Community Treaty, allows the EU Commission and EU Parliament to establish a set of common requirements among the Member States, while also allowing each country to go beyond the provisions of the Directive when developing national legislation.
  • 6. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter Who is the producer? A producer is someone who manufactures and sells under their own brand, resells under their own brand or imports goods into the; • EU (RoHS – REACH – ECO design) -> art 95 directives • Local EU state (WEEE – Packaging - Batteries) -> art 175 directives
  • 7. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter Consumer product or Professional product? B2C or B2B? • from private households • not from private households
  • 8. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter EPR Directives (in the EEE industry) • WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC • RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC • Batteries Directive 91/157/EEC Directive 2006/66/EC • REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Directive 2006/121/EC • ECO-design Directive 2005/32/EC • Packaging Directive 2004/12/EG
  • 9. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter RoHS & WEEE: Aims The EC Directives on WEEE and RoHS aim to minimize the environmental impact of electrical & electronic equipment (EEE) • WEEE Aims – Reducing the waste from electrical and electronic equipment – Increasing recovery and recycling rates of WEEE – Improving the environmental performance of all stakeholders involved in the life cycle of EEE • RoHS Aims – Reduce the environmental impact of EEE by restricting the use of certain hazardous substances during manufacture
  • 10. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter WEEE Directive Directive 2002/96/EC, 27 January 2003, on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment • The WEEE directive, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, concentrates on the recyclability of electrical and electronic products, and states that, from 13 August 2005 onwards, the “producer” is required to finance the collection, treatment and recycling and recovery of all WEEE that he “put’s on the market”. • The WEEE Directive is an Article 175 Directive, which allows EU member countries to develop their own implementation approaches. In fact, the WEEE Directive sets minimum criteria that, for example, member States may exceed if they wish. However, this means that the actual obligations, and thus implementation strategies, for producers may vary significantly among the member States into which their products are put on the market.
  • 11. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter WEEE Directive –Scope All equipment dependent on electrical currents or electromagnetic fields in 10 indicative categories as listed in Annex IA to directive 2002/96/EC: 1. Large household appliances (Refrigerators, washing machines, etc.) 2. Small household appliances (Vacuum cleaners, toasters, clocks, etc.) 3. IT and telecommunications equipment (Personal computers, printers, telephones, etc.) 4. Consumer equipment (Radio sets, television sets etc.) 5. Lighting equipment (Luminaries for fluorescent lamps with the exception of luminaries in households, low pressure sodium lamps etc.) 6. Electrical and electronic tools (Drills, sewing machines, etc.) 7. Toys, leisure and sports equipment (Electric trains, video games, coin slot machines, etc.) 8. Medical devices with the exception of all implanted and infected products 9. Monitoring and control instruments (Smoke detector, thermostats, etc.) 10.Automatic dispensers (Automatic dispensers for drinks, etc.)
  • 12. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter WEEE Directive Impact Effective August 13, 2005, products covered by Annex 1A of European Union directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and amending directive 2003/108/EC should be marked according to the directive, and systems need to be in place for the collection, treatment, and recovery of the products.
  • 13. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter WEEE required actions by the “producer” • Marking of applicable products (crossed out waste bin with block)&(producer name) • Availability of information on the material content of the product and disassembly instructions. (to be provided at request) • Application for approval of the “waste management system” and method of financing the system, individually by the producer or participation in an approved collective system. • Take back of EOL equipment (individually or via a collective system) • Reporting of quantities per category “put on the market” and waste returns. • Reporting of percentages of recycled materials (equal or better then defined goals)
  • 14. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter RoHS Directive Directive 2002/95/EC of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. • RoHS stands for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances and bans the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in electronical and electronic products. This directive came into force on July 1, 2006. • RoHS is an Article 95 Directive (also known as a "single market Directive") and is therefore required to be interpreted and implemented exactly the same by all EU member states. The goal of the "single market" approach is to harmonize implementation and to prevent multiple product design requirements and standards. However, the EU has no influence over how it is enforced by member states or how penalties are applied by the various member states. Issues of scope and exemption interpretation are the jurisdiction of the EU Court, where all disputes on these matters will be ruled.
  • 15. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter Products under scope of RoHS The products under scope of the RoHS Directive must meet the definition of "EEE" in the WEEE Directive and fall into one of the following categories: (appendix IA to 2002/96/EC) 1. Large household appliances (Refrigerators, washing machines, etc.) 2. Small household appliances (Vacuum cleaners, toasters, clocks, etc.) 3. IT and telecommunications equipment (Personal computers, printers, telephones, etc.) 4. Consumer equipment (Radio sets, television sets etc.) 5. Lighting equipment (Luminaries for fluorescent lamps no exception of luminaries in households, low pressure sodium lamps etc.) 6. Electrical and electronic tools (Drills, sewing machines, etc.) 7. Toys, leisure and sports equipment (Electric trains, video games, coin slot machines, etc.) 8. Medical devices with the exception of all implanted and infected products 9. Monitoring and control instruments (Smoke detector, thermostats, etc.) 10. Automatic dispensers (Automatic dispensers for drinks, etc.) Note: Categories 8 and 9 should not be included under scope of the RoHS Directive any time earlier than 2010.
  • 16. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter RoHS Exemptions The European Commission has appointed a Technical Adaptation Committee (TAC) to review and vote on submitted requests for exemptions to the RoHS Directive while taking into account stakeholder comments. The exemptions range from the use of hazardous substances in small components to all lead in solder for finished products (e.g. network infrastructure devices). An important development is that some exemptions have been or will be asked to be removed as technology matures ‘Spare parts’ that are used for the repair or reuse of electrical and electronic equipment put on the market before1 July 2006, (plus capacity extensions and/or upgrades)
  • 17. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter RoHS Difficulties within the supply chain Many difficulties arise in the supply chain as the "producers" (the one legally responsible for compliance) are in most cases a distributor and not the brand owner, and therefore must push back through the supply chain to maintain their due diligence in compliance documentation. It is not uncommon for a mistake or error to occur in the supply chain such as the incorrect finish being applied to metal, the wrong resistor delivered to the contract manufacturer, cadmium in the pigments of the product label, or an intentional/unintentional error in certification of compliance. Verification of RoHS compliance through spot checking and testing is recommended. For exporting brand owners or suppliers, if their product is found to be non- compliant while in a customer's possession, the exporting brand owner faces loss of sales, returned product, and likely qualification of a competitor's product. The error made by Sony in 2001, in regards to a Dutch specific cadmium ban, involved a single cable in their product. This error, made by their component supplier, led to a multi-million dollar recall and significant negative press. Confusion on the scope of RoHS within the supply chain (C6 or C9 ?)
  • 18. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter Any impact on pre RoHS/WEEE products? Yes, for WEEE. Note that Article 9 of WEEE was amended. An interpretation of the amended version is as follows: • For non-household WEEE from products put on the market before 13 August 2005 (historical waste), the financing of the cost of collection, treatment and recycling of one equivalent product shall be provided for by producers when supplying a new product. Any other historical non- household WEEE will be the responsibility of the last user. Member States may, as an alternative, provide that users other than private households also be made, partly or totally, responsible for this financing and France has assigned responsibility to users for all historical non-household WEEE. No, in general for RoHS. • However, availability of pre-RoHS spare parts could possibly become an issue, as could the importation of second-hand semiconductor equipment into Europe. The EU FAQ defines “put on the market” (from Article 10.3 of WEEE and Article 4.1 of RoHS) as “the initial action of making a product available for the first time on the Community market,” and that “making a product available for the first time” refers to “each individual piece of equipment and not to the launch of a new product or product line.” The EC’s lawyers recently stated that if a product was originally placed on the market outside the EU before 1 July 2006 and then refurbished and placed on the EU market after 1 July 2006 (the first time in the EU) then it must comply with RoHS.
  • 19. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter WEEE & RoHS What is next? USA, China, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, etc.? Same requirements? • There is considerable activity worldwide on related legislation. Concern about chemicals in the environment is widespread in many countries and extends well beyond the six materials listed in RoHS. For example, the Joint Industry Guide lists 24 material/substance categories as being of concern. RoHS and WEEE are only part of the beginning of new requirements. • In the European Union itself, legislation is being written based on a white paper on a strategy for a future chemicals policy, at the heart of which is the new European regulatory framework, REACH.
  • 20. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter Batteries Directive Directive 2006/66/EC of 6 September 2006 on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators and repealing Directive 91/157/EEC The primary objective of this Directive is to minimize the negative impact of batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators on the environment, thus contributing to the protection, preservation and improvement of the quality of the environment. The legal base is therefore Article 175(1) of the Treaty. However, it is also appropriate to take measures at Community level on the basis of Article 95(1) of the Treaty to harmonize requirements concerning the heavy metal content and labeling of batteries and accumulators and so to ensure the smooth functioning of the internal market and avoid distortion of competition within the Community.
  • 21. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter Batteries Directive Scope & Impact Batteries directive Scope • Applies to ALL type of batteries, regardless of shape, volume, weight, material composition or use. • Most of the new requirements will be in force on September 26 2008. Batteries directive Impact • Marking (Crossed out Waste bin – Capacity – Symbol for hazardous substances) • Design appliances in such a way that waste batteries can be readily removed • Include instructions for safe removal of the batteries • Inform the end-users of the type of the incorporated battery • The prohibition of batteries containing hazardous substances (Cadmium 26/08/2008) • Application for approval of the “waste management system” and method of financing the system, individually by the producer or participation in an approved collective system. • Take back of EOL batteries (individually or via a collective system) • Reporting of quantities per category “put on the market” and waste returns. • Higher recycling objectives under the new decree and regulations In the Netherlands there is one approved management system for used batteries “Stibat”
  • 22. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter REACH Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals. Directive 2006/121/EC of 18 December 2006 and Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 REACH, which will oblige producers to register all those chemical substances produced or imported above a total quantity of 1 tonne per year. Registration will affect about 30,000 substances. • For more hazardous substances, producers will have to submit a substitution plan to replace them with safer alternatives. When no alternative exists, producers will have to present a research plan aimed at finding one. • The regulation will enter into force progressively from June 2007, and the registration process will take 11 years to be completed. The calendar for registration depends on the risk of the substance and the quantity produced. All covered substances will have to be registered by 2018.
  • 23. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter REACH Impact • Producers / Importers / Distributors / Users • Documentation • Information – Downstream – about the substance and its dangers – Upstream – about the use of the substance • Registration and authorization • Innovation (alternative substances) • Ban on selected hazardous substances
  • 24. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter Packaging Directive 2004/12/EC of 11 February 2004 amending Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste. The purpose of this directive is so that; • Packaging shall be produced in such a way that its volume and weight is limited to the level required in order to maintain a good level of safety and hygiene • Producers shall arrange systems for the collection of all packaging waste that arises • Packaging waste shall be taken care of in an environmentally acceptable way, and • Meet the recycling objectives for collected packaging waste Scope • “Packaging” shall mean all products made of any materials of any nature to be used for the containment, protection, handling, delivery and presentation of goods, from raw materials to processed goods, from the producer to the user or the consumer. 'Non-returnable` items used for the same purposes shall also be considered to constitute packaging.
  • 25. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter Packaging Required actions by the “producer” • Application for approval of the “waste management system” and method of financing the system, individually by the producer or participation in an approved collective system. • Take back of packaging waste (individually or via a collective system) • Reporting of quantities per category “put on the market” and waste returns. • Reporting of percentages of recycled materials (equal or better then defined goals) • Prevention plan for reducing volume and weight of packaging waste.
  • 26. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter ECO design Directive 2005/32/EC of 6 July 2005 establishing a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-using products and amending Council Directive 92/42/EEC and Directives 96/57/EC and 2000/55/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ECO design is an Article 95 Directive (also known as a "single market Directive") and is therefore required to be interpreted and implemented exactly the same by all EU member states. • Energy-using products (EuPs) account for a large proportion of the consumption of natural resources and energy in the Community. ‘Ecodesign’ means the integration of environmental aspects into product design with the aim of improving the environmental performance of the EuP throughout its whole life cycle. ECO design marking and declaration of conformity • Before an EuP covered by implementing measures is placed on the market and/or put into service, a CE conformity marking shall be affixed and a declaration of conformity issued whereby the manufacturer or its authorised representative ensures and declares that the EuP complies with all relevant provisions of the applicable implementing measure.
  • 27. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter ECO design scope • The EuP shall represent a significant volume of sales and trade, indicatively more than 200 000 units a year within the Community according to most recently available figures. • The EuP shall, considering the quantities placed on the market and/or put into service, have a significant environmental impact within the Community. • The EuP shall present significant potential for improvement in terms of its environmental impact without entailing excessive costs. • The goal is to have implementation measures in force on Jan 1st 2008

  • 34. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter Extended Producer Responsibility a level playing field?
  • 35. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter The WEEE directive creates an unequal playing field within the EU ! Article 175 Directives (some variation between EU States is permissible) The implementation of WEEE in the different EU member states differs significantly. – Scope and its interpretation • What products are included or excluded – Execution • Each EU member state has his own – Obligations for registration (no EU wide registration possible) – Return logistics methods and organization's) – Inter EU business barrier – EU import barrier A Major issue for Corporations with EU wide operations – They need to register in each individual EU member state with different sets of information. – Scope and interpretation is not consistent between EU member states. – Inter EU goods transfers (pay and reclaim of “waste disposal levy”)
  • 36. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter The Dutch implementation of the EU EPR directives addressing EE Equipment, Batteries and Packaging waste are an unnecessary burden for “producers” whose products are always disposed off as business waste! – Consumer waste return flows are completely different from Business waste return flows. – Each business has to comply with existing regulations regarding waste separation and disposal already. – Business waste collection and disposal is already regulated. – 80% or more of all EE Equipment, Batteries and Packaging waste is consumer waste. – Consistent enforcement of existing regulations would have done “the job”
  • 37. 7 Nov 2007 Henk de Folter The EU EPR directives WEEE and RoHS should be completely separated from each other. – WEEE is an Article 175 Directive, and some variation between EU States is permissible. RoHS, however, is an Article 95 Directive (single market) and so scope and its interpretation should be the same in all EU States. – The connection between the two directives, specifically about the scope of the directives are conflicting and confusing. – The aim’s and impact of the two directives are completely different. – The required actions by the “producer” are completely different. – In general the “producer” for WEEE is another entity then the “producer” for RoHS
