  1. This project is funded by the European Union Twinning ProjectINTRODUCTION OF A MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT (WEEE) IN UKRAINE System for waste management 17 June 2016, Kiev, Ukraine

  2. Twinning project purpose and objective • Project Purpose: to bring gradually the Ukrainian waste management system closer to EU by introducing effective and sustainable management systems • Indicators • Relevant Ukrainian legislation brought closer to the EU legislation • A strategy how to introduce a management system for WEEE and waste batteries • Support for WEEE and batteries recycling facilities to work in a sustainable manner

  3. EU’s approach to waste management • Circular Economy package - comprehensive measures to improve the circular management of Europe’s materials • Turning waste into a resource - a key to a circular economy - one industry's waste becomes another's raw material • Clear targets and tools for better waste management • “Closing the loop" of product lifecycles through greater recycling and re-use • Benefits for both the environment and the economy • Earnings, jobs and innovation: the role of recycling in a green economy

  4. Towards circular economy

  5. Circular Economy • Both ferrous and non-ferrous metals sectors are very important to the EU’s economy, competitiveness and industrial development: • access to raw materials is crucial • valuable metals can be recycled from cars, buildings, packaging, e-waste, batteries, other • metals recycling saves up to 95% of the energy needed to manufacture new metals from primary sources • requirements to collect waste streams separately • increase the recyclability of products

  6. Different potential for insertion into circular economy • Vehicles • ЕЕЕО • Batteries • Packaging • Construction materials • Furniture • Food • Textile • Bio-waste • Tyres • Oils

  7. EU legislation • Framework Directive 2008/98/EC on Waste - including Art. 6 end-of-waste • European Waste List - Commission Decision 2000/532/EC) and Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC • Directives 2000/53/ЕО (End-of-Life Vehicles Directive • Directive 2012/19/EС WEEE • Directive 2006/66/ЕО onBatteries, • Packaging waste Directive 94/62/EC • Producer’s responsibility Other EU issues: Shipment of Waste Extension of the scope of IPPC Possible benefits from Eco-design legislation

  8. Why used car, electrical equipment, batteries Risks: Landfilling - heavy metals, brominatedfire retardants, mercury, ozone-depleting Cl-F-CHsubstances Uncontrolled burning - dioxins and furans, toxic fumes of mercury and other heavy metals/hazardous substances Benefits: High content of ferrous and non ferrous metals, plastic, precious and rare earth metals example: gold in 100 kgmobile phones is equal to extraction of gold from the processing of 1 tone of gold ore

  9. Guiding principles and recommendations • Set of rules • Institutional level • Business level • Citizens • Regional and local authorities • Shared responsibilities • Full net cost coverage • Fair competition • Transparency • Harmonized reporting

  10. Mandatory results 1 Component 1: Consolidation of the relevant stakeholders • established Working Group and subgroups on WEEE and batteries • workshops for all stakeholders • training need assessment and targeted trainings • study tours • support for environment areas under the Association Agreement (AA) with EU Results 1 • BC stakeholders familiar with EU modern procedures and management for WEEE and batteries • MS Expert support for Ukrainian institutions and other stakeholders for facilitating the implementation of the AA in the Environment Sector

  11. Mandatory results 2 Component 2: Removing of administrative and technical barriers • Conceptual documents developed - financing schemes and technical solutions, producer responsibility, circular economy and resource efficiency • Legal base established according to the actual situation and specific needs of Ukraine • Strategic documents for implementation Indicators R 2 • Batteries, EEE and WEEE defined by law; special marking adopted and used, collection and reprocessing targets for WEEE and waste batteries set up • Funding schemes proposed • Needs of collection and treatment infrastructure in Ukraine determined and related costs estimated

  12. Mandatory results 3 Component 3: Awareness-raising among the general public • Information on waste prevention, collection and environmentally sound treatment carried out • Website for promotion of sound waste management • Needs for new curricula on waste governance • Educational materials prepared and released Indicators R3 • Communication strategy • Recommendations issued • education materials
