* Electrification
* Geopolitical tension
* Vulnerability supply chains
* Increase demand raw materials
What is extended producer responsibility?
It promotes re-use and high quality recycling of products we can use. The main goal is eco-design.
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What is the difference between narrow loop, slow loop, close loop?
Slow; extension of PLC
Close; High quality recycling
there is also substitution by which material is reduced in the national CE policy.
In this guest lecture, OPEN was presenting. This is an organization which facilitates the EPR for e-waste. This organization connects actors in the supply chain, promotes targets and collects e-waste, facilitates sustainable financing and knowledge sharing. What is according to OPEN needed to let EPR work for e-waste?
* Enforcement to a proper recycle facilities
* Redesign the targets, because the goal which is now set on 65% is not realistic due to new electronic products, such as solar, and that it is contrary to the waste hierarchy, supporting recycling instead of re-using.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
