- With more e-products being recovered in NZ to be managed through formal scheme channels (and not in landfill or worse), TechCollect NZ expect to see a regulated e-product stewardship scheme significantly contribute to the creation of local skill-based employment opportunities – this extends to e-product collection, sorting, transport, repair, refurbishment and recycling activities, leading to local jobs for Kiwis in our e-product and resource management sectors.
- The recommended scheme design will also address some of the major barriers hindering more circular management of e-products right now, including (but not limited to) the costs of responsible management, and the convenience of accessing the best life cycle management services.
