This document discusses circularity in the home appliances industry from CECED, the European Committee of Domestic Equipment Manufacturers. It notes that the industry has already been circular for many years by reducing environmental impact and improving resource use. However, it agrees to become even more circular. The document outlines waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) generated and flows over time. It also discusses improving material flows and notes ecodesign must be measurable, enforceable, relevant and based on evidence to be successful in promoting circularity.
