European Portable Battery AssociationEPBA EPBA Trilateral Meeting Collection targets 16 June 2011 Washington

European Portable Battery AssociationEPBA EPBA 2  25% after 4 years is ambitious but achievable  45% after 8 years is not achievable, based on the current experience of battery collection in certain Member States  Target after 8 years should be set on the basis of that achieved in the 25 Member States after 4 years Collection targets EPBA position 2005

European Portable Battery AssociationEPBA EPBA 3  The level of the target should be realistic and achievable in the timeframe.  The targets should take account of the experience in those Member States that have been collecting batteries for a number of years.  It should be recognised that those Member States that do not have a history of battery collection would require a longer time to develop and set up an appropriate infrastructure and to educate the population than those that do.
