The EU adopted the Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) in March 2020. It’s one of the building blocks of the European Green Deal and it will impact how products are designed, promote circular economy processes, encourage sustainable consumption, and aim to ensure that waste is prevented and the resources used are kept in the EU economy for as long as possible.
The following implementation plan includes several actions related to the CEAP scheduled for the period 2020-22. Changes on Eco-design regulations and new legislation on the repairability of products are two examples of changes that will impact WEEE producers.
