WORKSHOP 2: Household Hazardous Waste | Collection Methods
The separate collection of household hazardous waste (HHW) is mandatory in the EU since January 1st 2025 and Member States and European municipalities are responsible for setting up their HHW management systems.
To support local authorities, industry, and other stakeholders in implementing sorting obligations, FEAD, in partnership with ACR+ and Hazardous Waste Europe, launched the Hazards Out project. The team organised a series of workshops to exchange best practices and boost collaboration on household hazardous waste (HHW). A legislation overview and different perspectives on household hazardous waste were provided during Workshop 1, What is going to change?
We then had the pleasure of inviting participants to the next episode focused on Collection Methods, which examined practical strategies and examples of effective HHW collection systems across Europe. During the event, attendees had the opportunity to:
- Hear case studies from local authorities
- Learn about national rules and guidelines
- Gain an industrial perspective on current collection practices across Europe
- Take part in an open discussion and Q&A on improving HHW collection methods.
Whether municipalities were looking to strengthen their waste management approach, or industry operators sought insights into EU best practices, this workshop offered valuable knowledge exchange and an opportunity to become part of a collaborative community of household hazardous waste professionals.
