EERA’s report brings together practical experience from WEEE recyclers on preventing and managing fire risks associated with batteries in electronic waste. It covers collection and transport, safe handling and storage at recycling facilities, fire prevention and emergency response, and the additional costs created by battery-related risks.

This study examines how brominated flame retardants affect the recycling of WEEE plastics in Europe, including material flows, BFR separation, recycling yields and recyclate quality. It also assesses the 2,000 ppm bromine threshold and identifies recommendations for policymakers, recyclers and producers.

A European study of battery-related fires across the WEEE management chain, examining where incidents occurred, their causes and severity, and the operational and financial consequences for WEEE operators.

EERA's position on establishing mandatory European standards for WEEE collection, logistics, preparation for reuse and treatment to support consistent quality and a level playing field across the EU.

EERA study examining the environmental and economic consequences of WEEE scavenging in Europe, including the removal of whole products and valuable components before they reach professional recycling facilities

EERA’s Technical Guidance provides practical guidance on the safe collection and transport of WEEE containing lithium cells and batteries under ADR. It explains when ADR restrictions apply, the conditions for exemptions, and the relevant packaging, labelling, transport and quality assurance requirements.
