FEAD Statement on the revision of the Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)

The EU is facing a critical challenge in ensuring the availability and sustainability of critical raw materials (CRMs), as limited global supply and increasing demand threaten their long-term supply security. FEAD welcomes the Commission’s proposal for a Critical Raw Materials Regulation (CRM) as an important step towards clearly acknowledging the role of circularity, recycling and recovering of materials in the diversification of supply sources and in reducing the EU’s dependencies. In addition, by recycling CRMs, the EU can conserve natural resources, and minimise the environmental impacts of mining and extraction.
