OEM COMPLIANCE News FALL 2017 Sims Recycling Solutions Recycles Over Half a Million Cell Phones Recovered from Africa Closing the Loop (CTL) partners with SRS’s Belgian facility to recycle recovered equipment.
T
hrough a partnership with Closing the Loop (CTL), more than 500,000 end-of-life phones collected through local social enterprise networks in Rwanda and Uganda arrived at SRS’ St Niklaas, Belgium processing facility in August. CTL is a Dutch social enterprise organization with the aim of creating more sustainable telecom use with and for corporations, governments and the telecom industry. The phones will be recycled by SRS, injecting valuable and scarce materials such as gold, copper and tin back into the electronics supply chain. This innovative approach to collection aims to boost local economies in emerging markets through context-driven collection schemes. This reduces the environmental impact of electronic waste and prevents health issues that come from burning electronics to retrieve materials. “We want to provide the global electronics industry with sustainably sourced materials as well as clean up electronic waste in countries that currently don’t have the means to responsibly recycle mobile phones,” says Joost de Kluijver, CEO and founder of CTL. “This project is important because it shows that organizations are willing to invest in taking responsibility beyond their own use.” 1
The countries where CTL is active in Africa often function as second-hand markets for mobile phones from around the globe. The infrastructure does not exist, however, to deal with the phones once they are beyond usage resulting in waste piles and enormous amounts of environmental damage and related health issues. Additional organizations that partnered in the effort include Samsung, Fairphone, ING Bank and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Another full container with over 500,000 phones is currently waiting in Zambia for transport and is expected to arrive later this year. The money made from selling these materials to the commodity market will be used to pay the African collectors for a new batch of end-of-life phones, scaling up the projects step-by-step. To build on the these efforts, CTL has co-designed a program with SRS called the Rethink Mobility Program, which enables public and private organizations to implement a responsible use, reuse and disposal policy for their end-of-life mobile phones.

Legislative Updates: Convenience Standards and Consumer Fees
ILLINOIS Convenient Collection Standards and Consumer Recycling Fees to be Implemented in 2019 SB 1417, otherwise known as the Consumer Electronics Recycling Act, was signed into law by Governor Bruce Rauner on Aug. 25, effectively replacing the state’s beleaguered Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act on Jan. 1, 2019.
S
ims Recycling Solutions continues to regularly track legislative and regulatory activity pertaining to electronics take back laws around the world. The following outlines current activity across the United States. For information about legislative activity anywhere in the world, email us at [email protected]. After experiencing the multiple shortcomings of loosely framed e-waste take back laws, largely focused on OEM weight-based goals and financial responsibility, multiple states including New Jersey, Illinois and Pennsylvania are now looking to convenience standards and/or cost sharing among stakeholders to improve state programs. NEW JERSEY State Implements New Convenience-Based E-waste Law Signed by the Governor in January 2017, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is rolling out implementation of the state’s new e-waste law in two phases. The new law continues to provide finite weight goals for each OEM, but requires there to be unlimited collection at collection sites listed in an OEM plan and specifies that a specific number of collection sites be available per county (based on population) and/or open to all county residents versus the single collection site required per county previously. It also establishes high monetary penalties for OEMs that don’t meet administrative and collection requirements, adds printers and fax machines as covered devices and requires all stakeholders (OEMs,collectors and recyclers) to annually report their activity to the DEP. In Phase 1 of implementation (2017): • Printer and fax machine OEMs must register and pay an annual $5,000 fee for 2017 and 2018. • Authorized recyclers must register and pay a registration fee of $15,000 for 2017 and 2018. • OEMs must submit collection plans by Oct. 2. All OEM goals are now based on market share. • All stakeholders must submit semi-annual weight reports, with the first due Oct. 11. In Phase 2 of implementation (2018): • Collectors must accept printers and fax machines. • 2018 OEM goals may be adjusted after second semiannual reports are submitted in February. The new law additionally gives the DEP the option to move to a state-run program, but the DEP has stated they will wait to see how the new convenience requirement-based program works before making such a change.
2
The primary focus of the new law is to ensure adequate OEM financial support and collection coverage statewide and year round. It moves the program from a loose group of collection sites and events across the state to a prescribed set of collection sites per county, based on population density. Counties can choose to opt into an OEM managed collection and recycling program or not, and OEMs either individually or as a group are required to submit a plan to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) to finance the required packaging, transportation and recycling of material collected from participating sites. It is assumed that an OEM industry clearinghouse will determine which OEMs and counties will work together. Currently recyclers cannot charge consumers for covered devices unless a coupon or credit of equal value is offered. Starting in 2019 retail collection sites can charge consumers for covered devices they may collect and other county authorized sites can charge consumer fees for desktop monitors or TVs to help offset the cost of bulk packaging all collectors must provide. Bonus weight credits currently earned through collection in underserved or rural communities and the use of developmentally disabled workers to process covered devices will no longer be available to OEMs in 2019. Treated CRT glass from covered devices deposited into a retrievable storage cell will continue to count towards an OEM’s recycling goal. PENNSYLVANIA Bill Aims to Require Collector Payments, Charge Consumer Fees and Ensure Statewide Coverage Multiple bills have been introduced in the Pennsylvania legislature this year to address ongoing implementation problems with the state’s Covered Device Recycling Act, but SB 800, introduced on June 29 by Senator Richard Alloway, has received the most support from local recycling and environmental organizations. The bill was sent to the Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee but no action has been taken to date as legislators are focusing on passing an overdue fiscal year state budget. The primary focus of the bill is establishing clearly defined implementation criteria for OEMs and creating equitable and year-round statewide collection and recycling access. The bill would require the state to administer a default plan which would enable them to contract out for collection and recycling services at one convenience center per county and in turn charge OEMs for costs incurred based proportionately on individual market share. An OEM, or group of OEMs, comprising 10 percent or more market share could alternatively implement an individual or joint alternative plan (if approved by the state) for counties that choose to work with them. All plan types would be required to compensate collectors a per-pound fee, operate on a 3-year cycle and provide comparable public education activities. A new 0.5 percent fee on the purchase of all covered materials would be used to help counties build or run convenience centers. Like in Illinois, the bill would allow the weight of treated CRT material sent to a retrievable storage cell to count towards an OEM’s annual weight goal. If the bill passes, implementation would begin in 2018.
Community Spotlight In each newsletter, Sims Recycling Solutions provides a featured interview of a customer, partner or colleague within the field of IT asset disposition or recycling. These interviews provide an opportunity to learn about the different aspects of electronic equipment disposal or recycling from an economic, environmental or social perspective. This issue profiles Arnauld Brunet, director general of the Bureau of International Recycling. What is the Bureau of International Recycling (BIR)? Tell us about its history and goals? Founded in 1948, BIR is the only federation to support the interests of the recycling industry globally. We are hence going to celebrate our 70th anniversary next year. Today, BIR represents some 750 member companies from the private sector and 34 national associations in more than 70 countries. Our members are in the businesses of non-ferrous metals, ferrous metals, paper, textiles, stainless steel and special alloys, plastics, tyres and e-scrap. Our structure reflects these businesses and our services to the members as well. BIR provides a dynamic forum for its members to enhance and create business opportunities, and to share their knowledge and experience. It serves as a platform to establish successful business relations and to promote recycling among other industrial sectors and policy makers. BIR promotes materials recycling and facilitates free and fair trade of recyclables in a sustainable and competitive world economy. Our missions are also to raise public awareness of their economic and environmental contributions, such as the reduction of energy consumption and of greenhouse emissions, to promote free trade, the environmentallysound management of resources and the use of recycled materials worldwide to encourage manufacturers to design products with a better understanding of the possibilities for recycling. BIR offers its members timely information about the international recycling markets, their legislative context and the latest technologies. Just before joining BIR in June you attended their Hong Kong Conference. What was your impression? I was impressed by the uniqueness and the pace of the event, as well as its top class standard. It is amazing to see the global recycling industry meet twice a year to trade, network, discuss their businesses and receive the latest information about the markets and regulatory environment. It is professional, dynamic and fun at the same time. What did you do before joining BIR? I am a lawyer by education and I have been in-house Counsel for “blue chip” companies (Esso, IBM and Sony) for many years. Most recently I was heading the European Government and Industry Relations team of Sony Europe. I have a long practice with national and international professional associations whether as a board member, general secretary, President or else. How does your new position fit with your former responsibilities? As I said, I have been immersed in the world of industry and government relations for many years, active in professional organizations. Heading one was a challenge I wanted to tackle. And in my previous responsibilities, I have been much involved in the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) European Directive discussions and implementation for the producers. I participated in the creation of compliance schemes for end-of-life batteries and WEEE. Consequently, I am now back in the recycling business.

BIR is as an advocate for the global recycling industry, what other issues do you and your team cover? We indeed run a truly global organization. We are an “Association Internationale Sans But Lucratif” but I want to make sure that we act with the mindset of a global corporation. All our actions are aimed at delivering the best service to our global members, whether they are corporate members or National Associations. As you said, much is about defending the interests of our industries by engaging with those who set up the policies that may affect our businesses, whether in the domains of environmental or trade regulations. But we want to act as partners to the intergovernmental and global bodies as well as national governments with the help of our members. Also, we need to raise public awareness about our industries. We work for the future of the planet and this has to be more recognized by the general public and the various stakeholders. The First Global Recycling Day that we will launch in March next year is a major step in that direction. Importantly we organize twice a year conventions and exhibitions where the business leaders from BIR companies run their Divisions, Committees and Special Committees governing the organization and providing topical information. The Conventions are also where business people from the world’s leading recyclers meet to do networking and create business opportunities, besides meeting their national representative bodies to address issues of concern. Those events are much awaited by our members and we must meet their expectations each time. As mentioned previously, we are going to celebrate our 70th anniversary next year, however my goal is to make sure that we maintain a fresh mind and spirit for the next 70 years. What are your key priorities at BIR? BIR leadership (President, Executive Committee) wants to strengthen and develop BIR’s position as the voice of the international recycling industry. So I have a clear mandate and my priorities are simple: • • • • • • •
Defend the interests of our members, Deliver them the best services they deserve, Create business and networking opportunities for them, Partner with the stakeholders, Raise public awareness about the positive environmental, social, and economic impact of our industries, Promote best practices, and Promote free and fair trade.
Yes, I know, it’s a long list, and I may have forgotten some. What are BIR’s thoughts on China’s recent announcements regarding 2018 scrap import bans? Anything that happens in China has potentially a global impact and cannot be ignored. It is particularly true for our industries which have, in the last years, accompanied the economic development of China by providing their industries with vital resources. China is now announcing its intention to make the import rules for certain scrap categories stricter, or even ban them. However there is still a need to fully understand what is exactly at stake. BIR is traditionally supporting free and fair trade, as well as promoting best practices and quality trade. This is why BIR has expressed some concerns to the Chinese government via the World Trade Organization, and offered to work as a partner with the Chinese authorities. To that respect BIR will coordinate the expertise of its members and Committees to engage such a dialogue. See Community Spotlight, page 4

Our recycling industries need and deserve more visibility and recognition for what they do for the planet. We are recyclers and this is good and important. In a way, we “recreate primary resources” from used ones. Through our industrial activity we fight against global warming and substitute primary raw materials with secondary raw materials, saving energy and reducing Co2 emissions. The Global Recycling Day which is taking place for the first time on March 18, 2018 is the start of a new way of communicating to a larger audience, for the benefit of our members. The Recycling Day is global and will be initiated through activities in a selected number of cities, before extending through continents. Under the strong leadership of BIR President Baxi and the Executive Committee, let us all make it a success! Please follow us on Twitter @BIRworld; www.bir.org and soon on a dedicated website. Stay tuned.
To be honest…a soccer one…the one that my boys support: Paris Saint Germain. What book are you reading right now? I am reading again “Cyrano de Bergerac” by Edmond Rostand. So French. What’s your go-to spot to get away? Allow me to keep it secret. Otherwise it’s not a paradise anymore.
