Why make economic-ecologic evaluations of End of Life alternatives?

• Closed loop management and recycling is a critical factor in today’s business management:

• Laws and directives for waste disposal (regulation on used  vehicles, WEEE, Battery recycling programme, regulation on packaging etc.)
• Enhanced ‘product stewardship’ (IPP, EuP etc.)
• Disposal and recycling costs must be able to be planned
• Environmental impacts should be minimised

• Setting of the current standing is the prerequisite for improvement

• Compliance with regulations doesn’t always provide the minimum-cost and most ecologically favourable disposal of a product:

• The most technical and economic recycling in the wrong place can turn out to be an economically and ecologically unfavourable option
• When alternatives cost the same, the most ecologically-favourable should always be chosen.

For this purpose, PE Europe offers the services of an economic-ecologic evaluation of waste disposal alternatives, the eco2 evaluation services.Only the evaluation of the current standings and the alternatives reveals the potential for improvement!
