Our approach to recycling

Philips supports the principle of Producer Responsibility as introduced in article 12.3 of the EU WEEE Directive. We therefore cooperate with our stakeholders, including the recycling community, to further develop these systems and their supporting financial mechanisms to create the boundary conditions to make IPR work. We see a transition to a Circular Economy as a practical way to support the producer responsibility principle.

Extended Producer Responsibility
(EPR) – Recycling

Philips supports the setup of recycling infrastructures together with industry partners, where we share a common strategy: creating sustainable financing schemes that guarantee the effective and environmentally sound collection and recycling of WEEE. This approach has proven to be successful in reducing environmental impact, minimizing the costs to society of these activities, raising consumer awareness, and increasing effectiveness of recycling.
