How to secure WEEE flows ?

66

Estimation of the prejudice subjected

6

15 à 20% of WEEE returned to the municipal collection points are stolen before collection*

Plunder and theft in some regions estimated at almost 40% of WEEE

Annual loss of WEEE because of theft and plunder

30 à 40 000 tons (lower hypothesis)

Both environmental and economic damage

* (Etude ADEME, OCAD3E)

The legal answer

99

1. Ban on cash transactions for scrap dealers

2.Mandatory « police records » on every scrap dealer’s siteEach client must declare its identity and the quantities of WEEE broughtRegister can be checked by the police anytime (e-register)

3. Taxability of each transaction (Thanks to the police book)

4. From 1 September 2015, operators are not allowed to collect and treat Household WEEE without having a contract with a take-back system

5. From 1 January 2017, operators are not allowed to collect and treat any WEEE without having a contract with a take-back system

Clearing house initiatives OCAD3E systematically engages actions for municipalities

A dedicated lawyerFrom 2010 to 2014 : 215 lawsuits, 102 judgments

OCAD3E obtained from the police force a specific timesaving pre-complaint to be filled in online

New objectives is to identify cross border activities

Additional financial support for municipalities enforcing measures to secure WEEE

Repartition of the 171 Complaints 2013 to 2015

The technical answer

1313

The Technical answer

Optimisation of collection frequency

Locked and secured shipping containers

Video surveillance on sites (Video protection)

Marking of WEEE allowing traceability


1414

The Technical answer

Video surveillance on sites (example)

2 infrared beams barriers "radio" 360° surveillance cameras, controllable from a smartphone, an Emergency Operations Centre to trigger a non-audible alarm, sound, projector, or 3, and from the smartphone. For this recycling centre, the budget is approximately €5-10.000 To secure only the WEEE area the budget could be twice less


BEST EVER COMBINATION WITH CONTAINER TO AVOID THEFT

1515

The Technical answer Dedicated collection stands for Small Household Appliances (SHA) : Testing of 130 stands deployed nationally


TRAILERS SLIDING COVERS IN 2 PARTS

Protection against THEFT and PLUNDERPrevention of injuries from the staff

The Support of Eco-systèmes to increase collection

1717

9 000 actives collection points collecting Of which 3000 municipal collection points in 2015

In 2014 and 2015 Eco-systèmes will manage 10 000 visits with specific objectives (5000/year)

Management of the Collection frequency TrainingManagement sortingMarkingPropose and implement Container

Provide to Eco-systèmes the best available knowledge of the current situation at the collection point

Marking of the WEEE in the municipal collection point

Information to all scrap dealers within 50km from the collection point

1919

Eco-systèmes more than 100 containers since 2012

2 studies managed (2012-13 / 2014-15) to measure the impact of this implementation in the increase of Tonnage

Same conclusion : Increase Average of +30% within the 6 months after installation

Conclusions

2121

The main expectations at European Level = Harmonization

To ban cash transactions : (In any case, this measure will only be fully effective if it is applied unilaterally across the countries concerned)

Mandatory « police records »

Taxability of each transaction

Reinforcement of the cooperation between justice and police authorities to fight against the illegal export of WEEE networks

Aware and expectative about the current negotiation Bale Convention (Status Waste or Not)


2222

The main expectations at European Level = Coordination

To establish synergies between European countries’ customs and law enforcement authorities,

Coordination of the police on a European basis is necessary to strengthen the model

exchanges and cross-referencing of information ;

exchanges and cross-referencing of databases ;

the organisation of coordinated operations (such as "crackdowns").
