The Bundestag recently passed a significant legislative initiative that aims to revolutionize the recycling of electronic devices in Germany. The focus of this initiative is to simplify the return of old electronic devices and e-cigarettes in order to significantly increase the recycling rate. This is an important step in reducing the amount of electronic waste generated annually in Germany.
An essential part of the new regulation is the uniform labeling of collection points in stores. This measure is intended to make it easier for consumers to return old cell phones, flashlights or razors. CDU MP Florian Bilic emphasized the importance of the resources contained in electrical appliances for the circular economy and emphasized that this initiative can make an important contribution to the sustainable use of raw materials.
Particular attention is paid to the free return of used e-cigarettes at all points of sale. This regulation applies regardless of whether a new product is purchased and includes both disposable and reusable products. This measure is part of a broader approach to combat e-waste and reduce the environmental impact of improperly disposed batteries.
In order to minimize the risk of fire caused by improperly disposed of lithium batteries, the amendment to the law requires that only trained personnel sort old electrical devices into special containers at recycling centers. These changes underline the Bundestag’s strong commitment to finding innovative and safer ways to deal with electronic waste and to reduce the environmental impact of electronic waste.
