It published a report in November 2020 which said that every UK household had 20 unused electronic items at home. &#8220;It appears the government is yet to grasp fully the scale of the e-waste tsunami,&#8221; its chairman Philip Dunne told Environment Secretary Steve Barclay. Mr Dunne told Mr Barclay his committee&#8217;s report had made 27 recommendations and the following February, in response, the government fully accepted one and part-accepted 22 of them.<\/p>\n<p>Among proposals in a government consultation on the issue &#8211; which ended on 7 March &#8211; were making producers of electrical goods more responsible for their collection and treatment when they reach end-of-life, as well as for the net cost of this. They would also require online sellers and retailers to offer a free collection on delivery service for bulky domestic electronics, such as washing machines or TVs.<\/p>\n<p>The committee said it was &#8220;encouraged&#8221; by this proposal, but that the consultation&#8217;s overall scope was too narrow and did not address many of its recommendations. These included making online marketplaces, such as Amazon, follow the same rules as offline marketplaces in making sure the electronics they sell comply with UK law. The committee also recommended a requirement for producers of electronic goods to detail on its labelling a product&#8217;s expected lifetime and how long it will receive software updates.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c51ep5583jyo\">BBC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-490\/\">Slow progress tackling UK &#8216;e-waste tsunami&#8217; &#8211; MPs<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,4065,579],"class_list":["post-128879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-ewaste","tag-uk"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128879"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128879\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
