26 Karmenu Vella, EU Commissioner for the Environment, European Commission, keynote address, WEEE Forum Conference 2017 WEEE provides a prime example of why recycling efforts pay off; and it pays off for the environment, it pays off for industry, and it pays off in jobs...this industry is a prime example of why we need to move from waste management to resource management, and why we have to find circular solutions. The WEEE Forum is the voice of thirty-one WEEE producer responsibility organisations (PROs) in Europe and Australasia. Mandated by 31,000 liable producers of electrical appliances to collect, recycle and recover to the highest treatment standards 17 million tonnes of e-waste, the PROs have worked towards the development of a European economy that is more resource efficient and sustainable.
