However, third sector organisations and producer compliance schemes will also be interested in this guidance. Benefits: The benefit to the collection authorities of implementing this good practice is to maximise the WEEE that is segregated for reuse and recycling through their kerbside/bulky waste collections. Producer compliance schemes will find this section of interest as they can benefit from innovative collection methods and may wish to discuss appropriate approved recycling and reuse routes with the local authorities. Third sector organisations will find the guidance of value by understanding how they can support waste collection authorities to maximise diversion of WEEE for reuse. Summary: This chapter considers the options available to waste collection authorities for maximising reuse and recycling of WEEE, through kerbside/ bulky waste collections, bring banks and ad hoc collections such as WEEE amnesties. Advice is therefore provided on how to identify reusable items, how to raise awareness of reuse avenues with householders and how to interact with local reuse schemes so they provide the level of service required. Useful sources of information of relevance to this section of the guidance are available from the Furniture Reuse Network.

    PARMA MANUFACTURERS’ ASSOCIATION www.upi.pr.it Parma and its enterprises October 2020 1 Preface Parma Manufacturers’ Association is pleased to offer this study whose purpose is to provide an up-to-date source of information for public and private institutions and organizations specifically interested in issues and questions related to industrial development in our province. More specifically, the aim of “Parma e le sue imprese” (Parma and its Enterprises) is to provide an overview of industrial activity in our province, focusing on the wide variety of manufacturing and service sectors and the specialized activity thereof. In fact, even if the core of Parma’s manufacturing tradition is to be found in the production and processing of agricultural products –Parma ham and parmesan cheese that have made it known around the world are good examples of this – there are many other sectors, some connected to this core activity and others not, which have contributed to make our productive capacity one of the most important in Italy today, fully capable of meeting the needs of our modern world and an increasingly globally-oriented future. Special thanks go to the Studies and Research Department for their tireless efforts in the preparation of this study.

Why is government intervention necessary? A producer responsibility (PR) system for packaging has been in place since 1997. Over this time, it has helped businesses across the UK to meet their packaging waste recycling obligations and the UK to achieve its and the EU packaging waste recycling targets whilst keeping the cost of compliance to businesses low compared to EU Member States. As the current system is designed to enable producers to meet (not exceed) their recycling targets it provides little incentive for producers to design their packaging to be more recyclable or encourage the use of reusable or refillable packaging. In addition, a range of environmental externalities (e.g. greenhouse gas emissions and disamenity impacts from littering) are not fully accounted for in packaging producers’ and users’ decisions. Other issues of the current system include stakeholders’ concerns over system transparency; limited direct financial support for local authorities (LAs) managing packaging waste and that recycling that can be done at a lower cost overseas resulting in a lack of a level playing field for domestic reprocessors.
