NGOs call for a swift revision of the Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive
Environmental organisations call for a swift revision of the Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive to curb Europe’s electronic waste.
The number of electronic devices on the EU market nearly doubled, soaring by over 98% between 2013 and 2022. This sharp increase is driving an e-waste crisis.
Alongside a broad coalition of environmental organisations, we urge the EU to take bold and immediate action to mitigate the environmental damage caused by Europe’s growing dependence on electronics.
