The increase, the equivalent of 200 40-foot containers, are contained in WEEE Ireland\u2019s annual report which shows approximately 18.1 million appliances were collected for recycling. Despite the record takeback, WEEE Ireland\u2019s CEO Leo Donovan is warning that more items have to be recycled as consumption of new appliances increases.<\/p>\n<p>The 2023 e-waste haul includes two million lighting items, 250 000 TVs and over 500 000 large household appliances including fridge freezers. Three-quarters of a million vapes were also collected after the launch of the country\u2019s first dedicated takeback programme for waste e-cigarettes and vapes.<\/p>\n<p>The ceo says the goal is to ensure Ireland has the materials for current and future product manufacturing. The EU\u2019s Critical Raw Materials Act came into effect in Ireland in May and by 2030 25% of critical and strategic materials such as lithium, copper and cobalt must be sourced from recycling systems within Europe. \u2018With finite resources, it is also vital that we support Ireland\u2019s new National Waste Development Plan transitioning from the traditional \u2018take-make-use-dispose\u2019 model to one where electrical and electronic devices are being reused or repaired as much as possible to minimise waste generation.\u2019 The annual report also shows that 54% of e-waste was collected from retailer sites, 26% from local authority sites and 20% from WEEE Ireland\u2019s network of collection points.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/recyclinginternational.com\/commodities\/electronics-recycling\/ireland-breaks-e-scrap-recycling-record\/57646\/\">Recycling International<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-546\/\">Ireland breaks e-scrap recycling record<\/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":[575,6052,3345],"class_list":["post-131951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-escrap","tag-ireland"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131951","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=131951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131951\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
