scope:

The objective of this VDI guideline is to provide the involved parties - e. g. ÖRE, system operators, the trade and producers, and also operators of treatment plants - with recommendations for the necessary planning and its realisation with regard to the contents and processes of the logistics needed [8; 9; 10].

The creation of structures for the efficient collection of used electrical and electronic products, the operation of collection points and/or hand-over sites and the transport to treatment plants are logistical challenges that should be implemented in compliance with applicable legislation and with attention paid to economic and ecological aspects.
