It appears that the targets set by Defra for the collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is looking to be lower this year than those set in 2017.  

This comes on the back of official statistics released which showed that UK producer compliance schemes (PCSs) missed their target for 2017 by more than 15%, collecting a total of 522,901 tonnes of WEEE. A suggested overall UK WEEE collection target for 2018 has been provisionally set at 532,818 tonnes, 9,917 tonnes higher than the total amount of household WEEE collected by PCSs last year. The figures come in draft documents from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

The possible 532,818 tonnes target for 2018 is also almost 100,000 tonnes lower than the 2017 target of 621,990. The target for 2018 is now out for discussion now.
