Collection efficiency in EU Member States
E-Waste (Dir. 2002/96/EC): • < 25% collected • collection of smaller appliances very poor
Batteries (Dir. 2006/66/EC):
Collection of metal-rich wastes
Batteries (Dir. 2006/66/EC): • Collection target 25% (2012) 45% (2016). • Some MS actually achieve < 5% presently.
End-of-life Vehicles (Dir. 2000/53/EC): • millions of cars exported as ‚2nd-hand‘

Summary for used car exports
• The ports of Hamburg and Antwerp play a major role for used car exports.
• 20% of cars exported via Hamburg come from Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Austria and Italy.
• More German cars are exported via Antwerp than via Hamburg.
• Huge data gap for intra-EU exports!• Huge data gap for intra-EU exports!
Export of 2.5 million passenger cars represents• 1.3 million tonnes of steel• 180,000 tonnes of aluminium• 110,000 tonnes of other non-ferrous metals• 6.25 tonnes of PGM
( = 30% of Germany‘s annual net PGM demand!)

Lorry for export, filled with CRT monitors
Exporter A: • 100.000 monitors per month (estimated)
Company B: • 5.000 – 6.000 trucks per year to Nigeria; each filled with 2nd-hand goods, often electrical and electronics • plus 1.000 containers filled with 2nd-hand goods

Good to have take-back legislation!• Avoids toxic emissions• Saves valuable resources• Reduces mining impact on the environment• Saves CO2 emissions.
Conclusions
We need better Implementation:• Collect more!
[„Consider alternative financing mechanisms to promote higher collection rates?“]
• Treat better! • Improve monitoring!

‚Extended Producer Responsibility‘
“Electronics companies should:• Recognize their responsibility to extend their
supply chain management to include sourcing and mining of metals. […].
• Make efforts to increase the traceability of their metals. To do so, companies should map their supply chain down to the extractives phase.”

A ‘Fair Ores’ labelling system
R & D is necessary on the following questions:
1. Quantitative (not always physical) proof of origin
Future Vision
2. Proof of sustainable extraction– Need to develop criteria and benchmarks
3. “Additionality” requirement:– Upgrading of existing mining activities towards more
sustainability– New mining activities under more sustainable conditions– Intensified recycling!
