Since 1 January 2025, the AGEC law has imposed new regulations to encourage the eco-design of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE).
A super modulation system now introduces incentives and penalties based on various environmental criteria.
Criteria for Household EEE
Incentive or penalty:
- Battery separability
Criteria leading to a penalty:
- Presence of HFC gases (for washing machines and dishwashers)
- Use of brominated flame retardants in plastic parts > 25g (excluding cables and electronic boards)
- Single-use equipment
Criteria qualifying for an incentive:
- Good repairability index
- Use of recycled plastic materials
Why this Change?
The objective is to encourage manufacturers to design more durable, repairable, and recyclable equipment.
