EU mandates 65% e-waste collection by 2027; Belgium exceeds target
Le SoirLO·BE · EU·about 12 hours ago
Belgium's WEEE collection rate reached 66.2% in 2025, surpassing the EU's 65% target for the first time, up from 61.9% in 2024. The improvement reflects enhanced recycling infrastructure and public compliance, though the exclusion of photovoltaic panels tempers the achievement. This marks a notable policy success in circular economy efforts.
