Call for evidence on reforming the producer responsibility system for waste electricals 2023

The purpose of this call for evidence is to gather evidence and views to support reforms to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013 that go beyond the specific proposals set out in the accompanying consultation and impact assessment that were also published today. The evidence sought here will inform wider policy development intended to support the drive towards a more circular economy and Net Zero commitments by ensuring products are designed and discarded in a way that lowers environmental impacts This call for evidence considers areas for reform where currently a lack of evidence precludes detailed policy proposals from being developed. We have set out a number of ideas on which we welcome your views and supporting evidence. Those ideas do not represent agreed government policy. Nevertheless, government is committed to developing policy in these areas at the same time as implementing policies set out in the consultation document.
