| The European countries generate around 1.3 billion
tonnes of waste yearly; out of this amount approximately
2.2 million tonnes are collected as e-waste, 330.3 million
tonnes are collected as packaging waste and less than
50,000 tonnes are waste portable batteries. Concerned
about the state of the European environment, the EUCommission
and European Parliament sharpen the rules
for the eco-design of the manufactured products and for
the management of their waste.
