♻️ At @EucoLight 10th Anniversary, our DG @paolofromfar shared the key role of home appliance manufacturers in turning the #WEEE Directive into a true EU circular economy success story.
With the upcoming revision, it must:
🔹 Clearly define the obligations of all actors in the WEEE value chain
🔹 Enforce separate collection to improve recovery of valuable resources
🔹 Ensure quality recycled content for new products
🔹 Strengthen reporting and stop free-riding
