This document discusses the WEEE Directive Recast in Europe and how to comply with its regulations. It covers the expanded product scope under the recast, increased collection targets for member states, and the role of compliance schemes. Producers can register through compliance schemes to meet obligations like reporting. The presentation also discusses how ERP provides a full-service EuropePlusPackage to help producers comply across Europe through local registrations, declarations, collections and more. Finally, it addresses the EPEAT certification system and how ERP supports certification and provides compliant B2B services.
