Update to the guidelines on eco-modulation
The update of the guidelines took place on August 25th.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has updated the guidelines on eco-modulation (determining and calculating eco-modulated fees) to make it more comprehensible and has given it a graphical enhancement. The main changes are:
- a new section that provides an in-depth explanation of the design criteria
- a new section about the design criterion concerning recycled content of plastic
- a new section on documentation
- a new section on the use of testing, including documentation of separate components with and without testing requirements as well as NIR-sortable.
Register for the webinar
If you are a member of VANA, you have the opportunity to register for our thematic webinar, which will be held tomorrow, September 16th from 1 PM to 2 PM. It is titled: "Eco-modulated fees – reporting, documentation and the economic model."
The webinar will, among other things, review how to read Annex 14 in the statutory order on design requirements and the levels red/yellow/green, how you can expect payments and the bonus/malus model to function at VANA, as well as what we expect to require in terms of documentation for placement in the levels red/yellow/green.
