Common Position paper on Waste Package - European EEE industries, compliance schemes and recyclers call for consistency in the calculation of recycling rates

CECED, DIGITALEUROPE, EERA and the WEEE Forum are concerned with the proposed new rules on the calculation of the attainment of the recycling targets laid down in Article 11a of the European Commission Proposal amending the Waste Framework Directive (WFD). We are united in calling for consistency in the method proposed for calculating recycling rates, to ensure reliable and comparable data at EU level.
