As the EU shapes its upcoming Circular Economy Act, WEEE Forum together with other leading industry associations are urging the European Commission to act on six barriers that are impeding circular practices for the manufacturing sector. The sector is at the heart of Europe’s digital, sustainable, and industrial transitions, supplying essential technologies, creating jobs, and providing the materials Europe needs for its clean and digital future. Every year, millions of tonnes of valuable waste containing critical raw materials are generated. On the ground, companies are eager to recover these resources but their efforts are held back by complex, inconsistent, and outdated regulations. That’s why we are speaking with one voice, calling on the European Commission to help build a framework that truly enables a circular economy where: 🎯Circular choices are rewarded 🎯Rules are clear, harmonised, and future-proof 🎯Recyclates are safe, high-quality, and price-competitive 🎯Materials can move freely across borders 🎯All actors are accountable for proper treatment 🎯Circularity becomes easy and economically viable Take a closer look at our joint statement 👉https://lnkd.in/eB4SxFS5 #WEEEAll 𓂃🖊APPLiA - Home Appliance Europe, Computer & Communications Industry Association, CECAPI SAC, DIGITALEUROPE, Eurovent, EPTA - The European Power Tool Association, LightingEurope, Orgalim, TIE: Toy Industries of Europe, WEEE Forum.

5dFor plant builders and technology suppliers, shipping samples for test runs should be much easier. Today, transporting just a few hundred kilograms of material to our test center often takes weeks. Finding a suitable shipping company is challenging, shipping costs are high, and the required paperwork is time-consuming. In short, the process wastes time and money and ultimately blocks innovation.
