愛爾蘭僅花7個月 達成WEEE指令目標

關於歐盟WEEE指令規定的電子及電器設備廢料的『分開收集』目標,愛爾蘭僅花了7個月時間就達成該指令的目標。

◎短短7個月 達成目標

根據歐盟WEEE指令規定的『分開收集』目標,在2006年12月31日以前,歐盟會員國應確保每個居民每年至少回收4kg的電子設備廢料。此外,該指令也根據產品類別分別規定了產品(例如:電視類)回收率應達到75%,零組件、原料的再使用/再循環率應達到65%。而且製造商和零售商必須負責支付電子及電器設備廢料的回收、處理、再利用費用。

愛爾蘭在2005年8月已經通過《2005年廢料管理(電子及電器設備)法例》,修訂《1996年廢料管理法》,以便在愛爾蘭推行WEEE指令和RoHS指令。目前,愛爾蘭共和國政府已經正式公佈,自2005年8月13日起至2006年2月底為止,全國總計收集14,587公噸的電子及電器設備廢料。這相當於每位愛爾蘭居民平均收集6.7kg的WEEE。主要收集的家電設備包括11,000公噸以上的冰箱以及超過1,000公噸的電視。

◎同心協力 成果驚人

愛爾蘭的環境、遺產及地方管治部長Dick Roche表示:『這絕對是一項傲人的成果,因為我們已經超越2008年回收目標的50%以上。雖然去年夏天該法規通過時曾受到社會輿論的嚴厲批判,但愛爾蘭卻成為歐盟首先推行此項重要活動的國家之一。』

此外,Roche也認為,電子產品廢料的【統一回收制度】與【塑膠袋成功課稅制度】充分顯示愛爾蘭可以成為環保活動領域的榜樣。最後,部長補充:『我很高興業者及消費者雙方都能成功迎接WEEE指令的挑戰,同時我也要向製造業者、零售業者及社會大眾致上最崇高的敬意,因為他們全力以赴才得以促成WEEE活動圓滿成功。』

Ireland takes seven months to reach WEEE Directive target

Ireland has taken just seven months to collect enough waste electrical and electronic equipment to reach the target level for Europe's WEEE Directive.

The Directive requires the separate collection of 4kg of waste electrical appliances for every head of the population, material that must then be recycled. The system of collection and recycling is funded by electrical manufacturers and retailers.

Although the legislation is not yet in force in the UK, Ireland adopted the Directive in August 2005. The Republic of Ireland's government has now revealed that from August 13, 2005, to the end of February 2006, the country collected 14,587 tonnes of waste electrical equipment. This was the equivalent of 6.7kg of WEEE for every Irish citizen.

The collected equipment included over 11,000 tonnes of fridges and freezers and over 1,000 old televisions.

"Stunning"

Environment, heritage and local government minister Dick Roche said: "This is a stunning performance. We are already running over 50% above our 2008 target. Ireland was one of the first European countries to introduce this major initiative, which was severely criticised when it was introduced last summer."

Mr Roche said the "fully integrated recycling regime" for waste electronics, along with the "highly successful plastic bag levy" showed that Ireland could lead the field on environmental initiatives.

"I am delighted that both the industry and consumers have so successfully met the WEEE Directive challenge and I want to compliment all those in the industry, the retail trade and the public who have worked so hard to make this initiative the wonderful success that it is," the minister added.
