The WEEE Forum invites you to Clontarf Castle in Dublin for a two‑day high‑level conference dedicated to the future of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in an evolving European policy landscape.
Bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, civil‑society representatives, and innovators, this event will explore the key challenges and opportunities that lie ahead — from the implications of the Circular Economy Act for the electronics value chain to critical raw materials, competitiveness, meaningful collection targets, and the social dimension of the circular transition.
A full programme of the conference is available here and the registration is available on our website as well.

The Conference “From Challenge to Change: Extended Producer Responsibility in a New Policy Era” is a high-level, high-impact, international event that will debate the role of the upcoming Circular Economy Act in addressing challenge of circularity of e-waste and its contribution to the resilience of the EU. Captains of industry and chief executives of Europe’s leading producer responsibility organisations as well as Members of the European Parliament and senior policymakers in public administrations will be in attendance. We expect the e-waste collection and recycling sector as well as authorities, producers, industry associations, academia, NGOs and the press to be in attendance, and join us in debating the future of the industry.
E-waste is a worldwide societal, economic and environmental challenge. The conference will therefore seek to address the following questions: How the current EU regulatory framework should be reshaped to make e-waste sector truly circular? How the #allactors principle in Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) should be implemented? How EPR schemes should be harmonised to strengthen Single Market? What are the building blocks of future e-waste legislation? Are the current collection calculation methodology fit for purpose? What measures will get us on track to become a circular economy and a circular society? How can we incite citizens to return their waste electricals? How can the e-waste collection sector foster access to critical raw materials?
The programme with details of each speaker and panel will be published shortly.
The WEEE Forum, the world’s only network of reputable e‑waste producer responsibility organisations (PROs), serves as a leading platform for knowledge sharing and the exchange of best practices across the entire WEEE value chain.
The upcoming revision of the WEEE Directive, as part of the Circular Economy Act, represents a pivotal moment for the electrical and electronics sector.
This event will provide a unique opportunity to hear directly from key decision‑makers about their priorities and vision for the future WEEE legislation. It will also bring together representatives not only from the PRO community but also from industry, civil society, and other stakeholders – creating a space to network, debate, and exchange perspectives on the future of the electrical and electronics sector.
