Simplified WEEE Cycle
WEEE flows 2017
WEEE generation: flattening curve
Volume outlook for Coolrec based on the regulatory growth from45% to 65% based on POM (Put on Market) per stream
* : study in the Netherlands with trackers performed by Hofman Bedrijfsrecherche in 2017 has proven that only 3% of LHA is going to WEEElabex certified recyclers.
Similar study was done in Belgium with same results.21
The EU member states are responsible
monitoring the WEEE streams based on the Put
on Market (POM) volume, reported by the
OEM’s.
According to the WEEE Directive the registered
volume must go up from 45% in 2016 to 65% in
2019.
Each WEEE stream has it’s dynamics: majority of
CFVA is returned, but LHA is ‘leaking’ to
somewhere else.*
Based on the officially registered percentages of
2014-2016 (source National Register NL) an
outlook is made for the relevant Coolrec streams.

Characteristics
– Independent Institution
– Service level agreements with registering parties
– Black box
– Confidentiality data
– Collects en aggregates data
– Reports to Ministry of Infrastructure and Waterworks
Collection rate
– In 2016 155.000 T WEEE was treated and registered by WEEELABEX
certified operators
– This is 45% of the average POM EEE 2014-2016 (342.000 T); solar panels
included .Without solar panels 48%
– Distance to target 65% in 2019 is 70.000 tons.
WEEELABEX treatment standards
Voluntary certification stimulation until July 2015
– Training of auditors
WEEE can only be treated by certified treatment operators
– (guarantee for high level of recycling)
First WEEELABEX certificates granted in July 2014
Mandatory for WEEE treatment since July,1, 2015
January,1, 2018 in the NL:
– 46 listed WEEELABEX operators (=28% of EU total)
– 68 listed streams (= ca. 30% of EU total)
Status & Actions in the NL
• Getting to 65% in 2019 will be very challenging
• Still leakage (a.o. export)
• Treatment by non certified parties (no depollution)
• Treatment by non certified parties
• Consumer involvement to be improved
Actions
• More ‘routes’ for collection to increase collection (45% to 65% POM in 2019)
• New ways of collection, e.g. by parcel delivery services
• Variable charging for collection by municipalities
• Better communication to consumers
• More certified treatment. Obligation for collectors.
• Scrap dealers and un-certified treatment facilities become obliged to handover collected WEEE to
certified facilities for treatment.
• Stimulation by financial compensation is an option
• More knowledge on exported EEE for refurbishment (non waste)
• More and better enforcement on compliance with the legislation
WEEE Recyclers
Sourcing- Compliance Scheme- Companies- SchoolsValue depends on type of WEEE, quality (age, type, pre-treatment?), handling (unpacking, dismantling)
Depollution and processing (cost factor)- Recovery of materials (iron, aluminium, copper, precious metals, precious metals, glass, plastics, ..)- Residual flows (incineration0
Selling raw materials (income factor)
