What is WPRS?


What is Producer Responsibility Scheme on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WPRS)?

About 70,000 tonnes of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) are generated in Hong Kong annually, most of which are exported for reuse or recovery of valuable materials. However, the reliance on export in handling locally generated WEEE may not be sustainable in the long run because demand for second-hand products in markets outside Hong Kong will decline over time. 

On the basis of the community's feedback received during a public consultation conducted in 2010, the Government has been preparing for the introduction of a producer responsibility scheme (PRS) to facilitate the proper treatment of WEEE in Hong Kong. The enabling legislation for the PRS on WEEE (WPRS), namely the Promotion of Recycling and Proper Disposal (Electrical Equipment and Electronic Equipment) (Amendment) Ordinance (“Ordinance”) was passed by the Legislative Council in March 2016, whereas the Product Eco-Responsibility (Regulated Electrical Equipment) Regulation (“REE Regulation”) providing for certain operational matters relating to suppliers and sellers of regulated electrical equipment (REE), was enacted in July 2017.
