Contents:
Overview and Introduction -- Enhancing plastics recycling -- Traceability of waste through the value chain -- Technology-related issues in WEEE Plastics Recycling -- Environmental Declarations for Small Consumer Electronics -- Extended Producer Responsibility Schemes -- Discussion, Conclusions and Recommendations -- An Illustrated Guide to Good Practice in WEEE Plastics Recycling.
Summary: This project identifies improvements in plastics recycling from Nordic electronic waste. Limited improvement is possible through modest changes in the existing value chain, such as ensuring that wastes are directed as intended. But for the most part, enhanced plastics recycling implies higher costs. The necessary changes could be driven in part through revised policy and regulatory instruments. These changes might, in turn, encourage more positive engagement from electronics producers. The report is part of the Nordic Prime Ministers' overall green growth initiative: "The Nordic Region - leading in green growth".
