EERA is the voice of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) recovery facilities in Europe, being the professional association for the WEEE re-use, recycling and re-processing industry

Our vision is for a resource efficient economy where WEEE (whole equipment and materials derived from WEEE treatment operations) is managed as a valuable resource and which is returned into the European market as equipment prepared for re-use or as secondary materials.

A full recycling economy with market actors cooperating along the value chain, better collection processes, high quality recycling, appropriate regulatory framework, eradication of illegal practices and product design integrating a life-cycle approach is what EERA envisages.

EERA strongly believes that a single market and the harmonisation of regulations for waste within the European Union, with stakeholders along the value chain cooperating, better collection processes, high quality recycling, an appropriate regulatory framework, the eradication of illegal practices, and product design integrating a life-cycle approach is essential in attaining a level playing field for fair competition in the WEEE value chain, encouraging innovation and long-term stability and economic growth, as well as to support the European Commission’s Green Deal objectives.
