摘要
Currently, the transposition and implementation of the WEEE Directive by EU Member States is becoming a complete chaos for all parties involved. A radical change is needed to avoid that the original intent of the Directive is being lost. Experts of TU Delft are researching how to align the organization of setting up take-back systems for discarded electronics with outcomes of environmental and economic assessments as well as from organizational analysis. The results could point a way out from the current situation and could be of help for discussions in the US with regard to development of take-back and recycling systems in the various states.
