\"\"EucoLight<\/h3>\n

EucoLight is a European association focusing on electronic waste (WEEE) from light sources, including energy-saving lamps and fluorescent lamps. Members include European collection and recycling organisations.<\/p>\n

Unlike most other electronic waste, there is no value in the waste from light sources. Most light sources are also fragile and contain hazardous substances, making them difficult to transport and requiring specialised recycling facilities.<\/p>\n

EucoLight was established to respond positively to these challenges and to collaborate with European bodies and industry associations. EucoLight works to improve the regulatory framework for lamps waste. This includes ensuring equal conditions for all, supporting the development of \u200brelevant international standards, in addition to offering guidance and support to its members. All within the framework of ambitious collection goals.<\/p>\n
