«Waste electrical and electronic equipment» or «WEEE» refers to electrical or electronic equipment which has been discarded by its end user. “Electrical and electronic equipment» or «EEE» refers to equipment which is dependent on electric currents or electromagnetic fields to function properly, as well as equipment for the generation, transfer and measurement of such currents and fields, designed for use with a voltage rating not exceeding 1,000 Volt for alternating current and 1,500 Volt for direct current. This term includes a high number of devices of various sizes and weights: washing machine, mobile phone, TV, drill, ATMs, electronic thermometer, lamp, etc.
Following the transposition of the European Directive 2002/96/EC (the WEEE Directive) into French law in July 2005, the collection and treatment of WEEE officially began in France on 13 August 2005 for professional waste, and on 15 November 2006 for household waste. Collection and treatment of household WEEE in French overseas departments began one year later, on 15 November 2007.
The law requires all producers of EEE to submit reporting to the French national WEEE Register, managed by ADEME (www.syderep.ademe.fr), stating the quantities put on the French market and the quantities of waste subsequently collected and treated. Updated data are posted annually at www.ademe.fr.The present summary is based on the report for 2015.
PaGE 3Electrical and Electronic Equipment in France - 2015 Data - Summary
evolution of total number of equipment put on the market between 2006 and 2015
evolution of total tonnage of equipment put on the market between 2006 and 2015
In 2015, data from the WEEE Register showed a significant increase in the number of units produced (+11.4%) and the tonnage of EEE put on the market (+7.1% compared to 2014), after three years of decline or of very low growth (lower than 2% in units and 1% in tonnage), due to the inclusion of photovoltaic panels and the rise of accredited PROs for professional WEEE bringing into the system new producers uninformed of their obligations.
This growth is consistent with the economic recovery which results in an increase in household purchasing power (+0.9%)1 as well as in investments for business (+ 1% for manufacturing industry2).

PaGE 4 Electrical and Electronic Equipment in France - 2015 Data - Summary
94 mill ion professional items of equipment are put on the market in 2015. This equates to a 32.6% increase compared to 2014, for an average weight equipment decrease of 2.6 kg in 2015 against 3.3 kg in 2014. The existence of approved PROs for WEEE professionals since 2012 continues to have an impact on the content and quantity of tonnages declared to have been put on the market:
■ The tonnages from individual schemes reported in 2015 dropped by 25% compared to 2014, while the tonnage
declared by PROs increased by 33% over the same period.
■ PROs have attracted the small-sized equipment sector as well as for other categories of equipment that fall outside the legal channels.
■ Furthermore, the option of delegating WEEE management to their end user was cancelled in August 2014 and producers have complied with this between 2014 and 2015 by turning to PROs.
The total declared put on the market tonnages (242,517 tonnes in 2015) increased by 5%.
The first equipment put on the market in terms of tonnage are large household appliances (category 1, 31.8%) and IT and telecommunications equipment (category 3, 22.8%).
The tonnage reported for this category however is down (-28% compared to 2014), due to the new definition of household and professional equipment which resulted in part of this equipment being transferred to the household category.
Changes in the household equipment market is partly explained by an increase in household purchasing power in 2015 and by the application from 1st January 2015 of a new distinction between household equipment and professional equipment (now, any equipment likely to be used by an individual is considered as household equipment regardless of its sales channel). Some of the equipment previously reported as “professional” becomes “household” waste. This is the case for laptops or smartphones used by businesses, office printers, etc.
This also had an impact on the unit weight for category 3 equipment for which the decline was steady until 2014 due to the efforts of manufacturers to reduce the weight of equipment and
the development of small computer and telecommunications equipment. However, this has not been ascertained in 2015. The unit weight for this category increased by 5.1%, due to the fact that a large proportion of heavier equipment (computers) previously reported in the professional sector are now reported as household equipment.
The end of the ERP agreement has led to the transfer of its former members, 90% to Ecologic and 10% to Eco-systèmes. The market share for PV cycle, the new PRO specific to the photovoltaic panels, is equal to 4.1%.
In 2015, the total amount collected by these PROs for the household EEE put on the market, amounted to 169 million Euros.

In 2015, the total amount collected by these PROs for professional EEE put on the market, amounted to 8.7 million Euros.
The proportion of equipment tonnage managed by individual systems set up by producers decreased significantly (34% in 2015 against 47% in 2014) in favour of a management by PROs (66% in 2015 against 53% in 2014). This is expected to increase in 2016 due to new authorisations granted in January 2016, especially for categories not currently covered.

PaGE 5Electrical and Electronic Equipment in France - 2015 Data - Summary
After a period of stagnation, the collection of WEEE increases significantly: 621,557 tonnes of WEEE were collected in France in 2015 (+17.8%), i.e. 62 times the weight of the Eiffel Tower or 12 times the weight of the Titanic.
CollectionMore than 3.89 million tonnes of WEEE have been collected since 2006, start of the sector.
The collection of WEEE, spurred by the introduction of new collection channels by PROs and the requirement to develop the “other” channel, by the fight against looting in recycling centres, by the communication campaigns and by the increasing power of PROS, has greatly increased compared to 2014. Categories 9 (monitoring and control instruments), 10 (automatic dispensers) and 7 (toys, leisure and sports equipment) have respectively reported the strongest increases. Nevertheless, the collection of these categories represents just over 16,300 tonnes.
Large household equipment (category 1) represent the largest tonnage with 366,514 tonnes of WEEE collected in 2015, mainly due to their large unit weight and the greatest growth in terms of tonnage (+70,095 tonnes when compared to 2014).

The tonnage collected sharply increased in 2015 (+16.7%), except for screens and lamps (-1.5% and -0.3%). This includes the collection of large household equipment (+11.1% for large cooling appliances and 30.3% those excluding cooling appliances), thanks to the actions for the development of collection channels by general PROS. It also includes the collection of small appliances (mixed) (14.7%) through a higher number of awareness campaigns and the deployment of collection points.
366 tons of photovoltaic panelswere collected in 2015.
577,927 tonnes of household WEEE were collected in 2015 by 4 accredited PROs, corresponding to +16.7% compared to 2014.

PaGE 6 Electrical and Electronic Equipment in France - 2015 Data - Summary
With 8.7 kg per inhabitant collected in 2015 at the national, the minimum collection target of 4 kg per inhabitant, set by the WEEE directive until 2015, was surpassed at the national level.
According to the new method for calculating the collection rates imposed by the Directive (amount of WEEE collected divided by the average amount of EEE put on the market in the previous three years), France has achieved a collection rate of 43%. The target for 2016 is 45%.
At a national level, the target set by the specifications for PRO accreditation was 40% in 2015.

household weee collected in 2015, per capita by department (kg per capita)
64% of collected WEEE originated from waste collection centres (in tonnes).
20% is collected from store collection points or via one-for-one take-backs at delivery.
The collection through other channels (“other” origin) has increased significantly due to efforts of PROs to diversify the channels in anticipation of increased collection targets. This includes the national partnership signed between Eco-Systèmes and FEDEREC at the end of 2014, which takes into account the household WEEE treated by processing operators (brought in by artisans who have no access to public waste collection centres for example).

PaGE 7Electrical and Electronic Equipment in France - 2015 Data - Summary
The tonnages of collected waste declared by accredited PROs in 2015 (categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10) increased by 87.4% compared to 2014, totalling 22,495 collected tonnes. This sharp increase corresponds to the scalability of professional PROs (intensive canvassing of producers, communication campaigns, improvement of their collection system, etc.). However, the PROs are confronted with problems specific to the professional sector compared to the collection of household equipment:■ flows vary greatly and are unpredictable (e.g. when a producer
decides to renew its professional printer pool, collection flows increase considerably);
■ and the needs of professionals require the offering of tailored services.
PRoFESSIoNal WEEE
43,630 tonnes of professional WEEE were reported as collected in the 2015 Register corresponding to +35.4% compared to 2014.
Evolution of total tonnage of professional WEEE collected between 2006 and 2015
After several years of a professional WEEE collection oscillating around 20,000 tonnes, the tonnage collected has been rising since 2014 exceeding 40,000 tonnes this year.
Distribution of total tonnage of professional WEEE collected, by category and by year
WEEE collected is mainly comprised of items from category 3 (IT and telecommunications equipment, which account for 48% of tonnage), of which 42% come from four large producers. The disparities in terms of product lifespan explain the high representation of categories relating to equipment that is renewed more often (category 3 for example). The accreditation for PROs contributed to the greater volumes collected compared to 2014, particularly for categories 1 (large household equipment) and 9 (monitoring and control instruments).
48% of the professional WEEE tonnage collected in 2015 was achieved through individual schemes set up by producers (compared to 74% in 2013 and 53% in 2014).

PaGE 8 Electrical and Electronic Equipment in France - 2015 Data - Summary
617,401 tonnes of WEEE were reported as treated in 2015 (+18.1% compared to 2014).This WEEE was 80% recycled.
TreatmentThe tonnage treated in France shown in this section was underestimated compared to the actual WEEE quantities treated each year. It corresponds to the quantities treated at the request of producers and PROs recorded in the WEEE Register. Treatment centres process greater quantities of WEEE, including professional WEEE which users do not send to PROs or to the individual schemes set up by producers, or historical WEEE (placed on the market before 13 August 2005), not subject to reporting requirements.
80% (in tonnes) of the WEEE components were recycled. The other treatment processes are disposal (10%), energy recovery (8%), preparation for reuse (1%) or component reuse (1%).
Producers and PROs have reported in 2015 that WEEE had been processed in 628 treatment sites, including more than 94% located in France.
In 2015, the EU regulatory reuse-recycling and recovery targets (WEEE directive) were achieved by France for all equipment categories (both household and professional WEEE).

HoUSEHold WEEE
575,050 tonnes of household WEEE were reported as treated in 2015 by the 4 accredited PROs (+17%).
The difference between tonnage collected and treated was due to the stock that was not treated during the year.
Distribution of household WEEEtreated in 2015, by waste stream
Distribution of total tonnage of household WEEEtreated in 2015, by treatment type
More than 99% of household WEEE were treated in France in 2015 (<1% in Belgium and Germany), a stable figure compared to 2014.
80% of the household WEEE components were recycled.With regard to equipment reuse, the quantities reported under the heading “preparation for reuse” correspond to the tonnes of equipment which are returned to the market for a second life cycle. Not all appliances that are sent to preparation for reuse facilities are returned to the market because either they cannot be repaired or they are no longer of interest (obsolete technology, high energy consumption, etc.). In 2015, the WEEE quantities prepared for reuse represented one tenth of the quantities sent to preparation for reuse facilities (4,948 tonnes prepared for reuse compared to 48,053 tonnes sent to preparation to reuse facilities).
Household appliances are prepared for reuse exclusively in France.
PRoFESSIoNal WEEE
42,351 tonnes of professional WEEE were reported as treated in 2015 (+35.5%) by the 4 PROs and 237 producers under individual schemes.
Category 3 represents 48.4% of the tonnage.
Distribution of professional WEEE treated in 2015,by equipment category
Distribution of professional WEEE treated in 2015,by treatment type
86% of WEEE were treated in France and 11% in the European Union.
Professional WEEE were 79% recycled and 10% prepared for reuse (in tonnes). The percentage of recycled WEEE increased due to the sector’s organisation based on the accreditation of PROs.
Professional equipment, and computer equipment in particular, generates significant amounts of products meant to be reused, both in terms of quality and quantity since the duration of their use is shorter than their life cycle. 37% of the preparation of whole professional equipment for reuse is performed outside the European Union and 51% in France, whereas the reuse of parts, the recycling, energy recovery and disposal are observed almost exclusively in the European Union.

ElECtRICalaNd ElECtRoNIC EqUIPMENt IN FRaNCE«Waste electrical and electronic equipment» or «WEEE» refers to electrical or electronic equipment which has been discarded by its end user. “Electrical and electronic equipment» or «EEE» refers to equipment which is dependent on electric currents or electromagnetic fields to function properly, as well as equipment for the generation, transfer and measurement of such currents and fields, designed for use with a voltage rating not exceeding 1,000 Volt for alternating current and 1,500 Volt for direct current. This term includes a high number of devices of various sizes and weights: washing machine, mobile phone, TV, drill, ATMs, electronic thermometer, lamp, etc.
Following the transposition of the European Directive 2002/96/EC (the WEEE Directive) into French law in July 2005, the collection and treatment of WEEE officially began in France on 13 August 2005 for professional waste, and on 15 November 2006 for household waste. Collection and treatment of household WEEE in French overseas departments began one year later, on 15 November 2007. The law requires all producers of EEE to submit reporting to the French national WEEE Register, managed by ADEME (www.syderep.ademe.fr), stating the quantities put on the French market and the quantities of waste subsequently collected and treated.
