With effect from 1 July 2021, the management of regulated consumer e-waste (e.g. Information and Communications Technology (ICT) equipment, large appliances, batteries, lamps and solar photovoltaic panels) comes under the Extended Producer Responsibility system (please refer to Table A under “Regulated Electrical and Electronic Product” here).
The National Voluntary Partnership (NVP) will continue to complement the EPR system to enhance the accessibility and convenience of recycling e-waste, including small household appliances, electronic toys and other consumer electrical/electronic products. Under the NVP, industry partners are invited to spearhead e-waste recycling programmes to provide more convenient e-waste recycling avenues for the public.
Participation in this partnership is voluntary.
