The waste management (Electric & Electronic
Equipment -WEEE) Regulations 2005 |
|
New regulations published on 6 July 2005 by Mr.
Dick Roche, T.D., Minister for the Environment, Heritage, and Local
Government clear the way for producer-funded recycling of waste
electrical and electronic equipment in Ireland. The Regulations
transpose two landmark EU Directives on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and on the Restriction on Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment
(EEE) into Irish law and provide the legislative framework for their
implementation. The new recycling regime for WEEE commences on 13
August next as required by the Directive.
The WEEE Directive requires producers to be
responsible for the financing of the collection, treatment, recovery
and environmentally sound disposal of WEEE from 13 August
2005. It means that final users of such household WEEE
will be entitled to leave that waste back free of charge, either to
retail outlets in instances where a replacement item is purchased,
or other authorised collection points, including local authority
civic amenity sites, from that date onwards. |
