Hong Kong’s consultation on liability for disposal of old electrical appliances begins today and will last for 3 months.

2010-03-12

The Hong Kong government launched a three-month public consultation today on the Producer Responsibility Scheme for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

Secretary for the Environment Edward Yau said that Hong Kong generates about 70,000 tons of used electrical appliances every year, and it is impossible to dump them all in landfills in the long run. Therefore, it is necessary to find ways to deal with this type of waste, such as establishing central processing facilities. The consultation document pointed out that a survey conducted by the government on the level of processing fees showed that half of the respondents believed that 2.5% below the retail price of electrical appliances was reasonable; a quarter of the respondents believed that between 2.5% and 5% was acceptable.

The government aims to recoup costs, with the plan covering five categories of electronic products: refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, televisions, and computers. Drawing on international experience, the government suggests different fees based on product size, with small appliances costing approximately $100 and large appliances costing $200 to $250.

The government's proposed fee models include charging importers and distributors when they sell products, with the fees being fully or partially recovered from consumers; another model is to charge consumers directly.

The authorities also plan to hire contractors through open tender to handle the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), prohibit the disposal of WEEE in landfills, and recommend mandating that retailers offer free recycling services for new WEEE in exchange for old ones, in order to achieve environmental protection goals.
