Common eWaste compliance questions

The questions that arrive most often, answered with the instrument named.

What is the WEEE Directive?Directive 2012/19/EU · EU 27 + EEA
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive is the EU framework that sets collection, recycling, and recovery targets for all types of electrical equipment. It makes producers financially responsible for end-of-life treatment of their products.
What is EPR and do I need it?Manufacturers · Importers · Distributors
Extended Producer Responsibility requires manufacturers and importers to finance the collection and recycling of their products at end of life. If you place electronics on any EU market, you almost certainly need to register with a national EPR scheme.
R2 or e-Stewards — which certification?Scope · Cost · Audit frequency · Recognition
R2 (Responsible Recycling) is the most widely adopted standard in North America, focusing on downstream accountability and data security. e-Stewards is stricter — it prohibits export to developing nations and requires zero landfill. Choose based on your clients’ requirements.
How do I ship eWaste across borders?Basel Convention · EU WSR · RCRA (US)
Transboundary movement of hazardous waste, including most eWaste, is regulated by the Basel Convention. You need Prior Informed Consent from both exporting and importing countries, plus transit countries. The EU implements this through the Waste Shipment Regulation (EC 1013/2006).
