8 HECHOS Y CIFRAS FACTS AND NUMBERS LA BAJADA GENERALIZADA DE LAS CANTIDADES PUESTAS EN EL MERCADO, UN DESAFÍO PARA LOS SIG (parte 1) THE GENERAL DOWNTURN IN THE QUANTITIES PUT ON THE MARKET: A CHALLENGE FOR THE SCHEMES (part I) 08 La caída continuada de las cantidades vendidas de aparatos eléctricos y electrónicos y también de pilas y acumuladores tiene un efecto directo en la gestión de sus residuos El 15 de septiembre de 2008 Lehman Brothers, el cuarto banco de inversión más importante de Estados Unidos se declaró en quiebra. Muchas fuentes marcan este hito como el inicio de una crisis económica generalizada de la que aún hoy todavía no hemos conseguido salir. En el contexto español, esta larga crisis ha hecho disminuir casi todas las actividades productivas del país, cebándose sobre todo - y en un primer momento - en la construcción, pero también de una manera significativa en el consumo interno. Estos dos ámbitos tienen una relación directa (más clara en el segundo caso que en el primero) con la venta de aparatos eléctricos y electrónicos y explican en gran medida el muy significativo descenso de los kilogramos puestos en el mercado español por las empresas inscritas en el REI-RAEE (Registro del Ministerio de Industria para empresas productoras de aparatos eléctricos y electrónicos). The steady and continuous decline in the volumes of POM electrical and electronic equipment and batteries and accumulators, has a direct impact on the management of their waste On September 15 th, 2008, Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank in the United States went bankrupt. Many sources set this milestone as the beginning of a general economic crisis that is still affecting us. In the Spanish context, this long crisis has reduced almost all productive activities in the country. Since the beginning, it has particularly affected the construction sector, but has also damaged the domestic consumption significantly. These two areas are directly connected (clearer in the second than in the first case) with the acquisition and sale of electrical and electronic equipment and largely explain the remarkable decrease in the kilograms placed on the Spanish market by companies registered in the REI-RAEE (Registry of the Ministry of Industry for producers of electrical and electronic equipment). El Ministerio de Industria confirma el efecto de la crisis en las cantidades de AEE puestos en el mercado Según datos extraídos de la sección de consultas públicas del REI-RAEE, se puede observar cómo el mercado de aparatos de uso HOGARES - aquel que engloba los aparatos destinados a ser usados en el ámbito doméstico, ha descendido un 24% desde 2008 hasta 2012, lo que supone un 5,5% de disminución media interanual. En este reportaje vamos a analizar la evolución del mercado de estos aparatos, aunque conviene apuntar que el descenso señalado sería aún mayor si también considerásemos los volúmenes de aparatos de uso NO HOGARES - aquellos que están destinados a ser utilizados en un entorno profesional. Este hecho corrobora que la bajada es sistémica para todo el sector de aparatos eléctricos y electrónicos. The Ministry of Industry confirms the effect of the crisis on the quantities of EEE placed on the market According to data from the section of the REI-RAEE public consultations, we can see how the market for domestic appliances "HOUSEHOLDS" - the one which includes devices intended for use in the household, has declined by 24% from 2008 to 2012, representing an average decrease of 5,5% of the year on year rate. Although this report intends to analyze the evolution of the market for these appliances, it is important to mention that the decline would be even higher if we considered the volumes of those appliances for non-domestic use "NON-HOUSEHOLDS" - those intended to be used in a professional environment. This fact confirms that the downturn is systemic and widespread to the whole electrical and electronic equipment sector. BOLETÍN IBÉRICO ERP ERP IBERIA NEWSLETTER

Further detailed analysis of each year shows a significant upturn in volumes declared in 2010 which has not continued in subsequent years. What is more, there has been an acceleration of the pace of decline in those years (reaching 14% in the period between 2011 and 2012).

Es innegable que más allá de la caída sistemática del consumo interno, hay otros factores no directamente relacionados con las ventas que han tenido un impacto importante en la caída de los volúmenes puestos en el mercado. El principal factor es la constante innovación tecnológica, que se traduce en equipos cada vez más pequeños y ligeros. El ejemplo más notorio lo constituyen las pantallas de televisión. Este sector ha renovado en los últimos cuatro años casi todo su parque debido al cambio tecnológico motivado por la entrada de la TDT y la televisión HD. Sin embargo la puesta en el mercado de este tipo de aparatos ha caído en estos 4 años un 36%. The importance of technological progress and changes in consumer habits While it is true that global REI-RAEE data reflect a widespread reality, this information must be considered with caution. It cannot be denied that beyond systematic decline of domestic consumption, there are other factors which are not directly related to sales that have had a major impact on the drop of the volumes placed on the market. The main factor is the ongoing technological innovation, which is translated into increasingly smaller and lighter equipments. The most notorious example is that of television screens. This sector has renewed most of its products in the last four years due to the technological change as a result of the appearance of DTT and HD television. However, the placement on the market of such devices has fallen by 36% in four years. BOLETÍN IBÉRICO ERP ERP IBERIA NEWSLETTER

10 HECHOS Y CIFRAS FACTS AND NUMBERS 10 Podría parecer que los datos no cuadran, pero existe otro factor a tener en cuenta: más allá del posible descenso de las cantidades vendidas, las pantallas son cada vez más delgadas y los materiales son cada vez más ligeros, lo cual se traduce en una fuerte caída en los kilogramos declarados por las empresas de este sector. It might seem that these data do not work, but there is another factor to be considered: beyond the possible decrease in the quantities sold, screens are getting thinner and materials are becoming lighter, which translates into a sharp drop in those kilograms reported by the companies in this sector.

11 INSIDE ERP Iago García es el responsable de empresas adheridas de ERP España. Entre sus funciones está la de gestionar las declaraciones de productos puestos en el mercado que los miembros de RAEE y de pilas remiten a ERP trimestralmente. En este número nos va a contar cómo funcionan las declaraciones de productos puestos en el mercado y para qué sirven. Qué son el REI-RAEE y el REI-RPA? Son dos secciones dedicadas del Registro de Establecimientos Industriales (REI) del Ministerio de Industria donde las empresas productoras están obligadas a darse de alta y declarar periódicamente las cantidades de productos que ponen en el mercado. En la práctica son aplicaciones que permiten declarar telemáticamente, a través de la web del MINETUR, los kilogramos y unidades puestos en el mercado en un periodo determinado y, posteriormente, consultar las cuotas de mercado para cada tipo de producto, tanto a nivel de productor como a nivel de SIG. Por qué es tan importante estar inscritos en estos registros y declarar correctamente los productos puestos en el mercado? Hay que tener muy presente que esto es una obligación primordial del productor. Además de porque sobre las cuotas de mercado se calculan las responsabilidades de gestión de los residuos, estar correctamente registrados y declarar en tiempo y forma las cantidades puestas en el mercado es de vital importancia para los productores, ya que de no hacerlo podrían estar cometiendo, en función del grado, una infracción grave o muy grave tipificada como tal en la Ley 22/2011 de residuos y suelos contaminados, con riesgo de fuertes multas y/o inhabilitación. Cómo funcionan las declaraciones? En el caso de ERP España tenemos una aplicación informática en nuestra página Web que permite, a través de un usuario y contraseña únicos, declarar las cantidades puestas en el mercado de forma fiable y segura. Entendemos que este sistema, que minimiza la manipulación de los datos por parte del SIG, es el que mejor garantiza la integridad de la información y por eso hemos insistido tanto a las empresas adheridas para que lo usen. Una vez que tenemos todas las declaraciones de nuestras empresas, hacemos un volcado automático de estos datos en la Web del registro correspondiente (REI- RAEE o REI-RPA) a través de un archivo XML. Qué mecanismos de control se aplican para asegurar la calidad de la información enviada? ERP audita anualmente, a través de una entidad externa, a algunos de sus miembros. Estas auditorías no solo pretenden corroborar la veracidad de los datos reportados, sino que también están diseñadas para ser útiles a las empresas, ya que les ayuda a comprender sus obligaciones y a mejorar sus procedimientos internos de obtención de la información. Iago García is member companies manager of ERP Spain. One of his roles at ERP is to manage put on the market (POM) declarations that WEEE and batteries members submit to ERP on a quarterly basis. In this issue he will explain how POM declarations work and what they are used for. What are the REI-RAEE and the REI-RPA? They are two dedicated sections of the Register of Industrial Establishments (in Spanish its acronym is REI) of the Ministry on Industry where the producers are obliged to be registered and to declare periodically the quantities put on the market. In practice, they are web applications that allow reporting kilograms and units placed on the market (in a certain period of time) via Internet through MINETUR web site and, after that, being able to consult market shares per product, at both: producer and collective scheme level. Why is so important to be registered and to correctly declare the products put on the market? It is very necessary to keep in mind that this is a major obligation for producers. Apart from the fact that market shares are the basis to calculate waste management responsibilities, being correctly registered and submit the POM declarations in a proper and timely manner is critical for producers. If they aren t doing so, they could be committing a major or extreme infraction (depending on the degree) according to Act on waste and contaminated soils (Ley 22/2011), which could be punished with a heavy fine and/or disqualification. How do declarations work? In the case of ERP Spain, we have a web application in our site that allows doing online declarations on a safe and reliable way, with a unique username and password. We believe this system, that minimizes the data handling at the receiving end, is the best one for information soundness. And that is the reason why we have been so insistent with our members when encouraging them to use it. Once we have the POM declarations from all our members, we automatically upload these data in the corresponding Register (REI-RAEE or REI-RPA) web site by means of an XML file. What kind monitoring mechanisms are in place to assure the quality of the data reported? ERP audits, through an external company, some of its members. These audits are not only a tool to verify the data reported. They are also designed to be useful for our customers because it helps them to understand their own obligations as well as to improve their internal operating procedures to get all the info. 11 BOLETÍN IBÉRICO ERP ERP IBERIA NEWSLETTER

18 VISÃO DE... VISION OF... VÍTOR MARTINS DIRECTOR DE AMBIENTE DA SONAE SONAE S ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGER Em conjunto com a Worten, a ERP Portugal tem desenvolvido um processo de recolha de REEE bem oleado e eficaz, (...). Along with Worten, ERP Portugal has been developing a well-functioning and effective WEEE collection process, (...). 06 A marca Worten (Grupo SONAE) acumula duas funções no sistema de gestão de REEE, na medida em que é considerada Produtor porque coloca equipamentos no mercado nacional e tem marcas próprias de EEE (Equipamentos Eléctricos e Electrónicos), ao mesmo tempo que comercializa este tipo de produtos (função de Distribuidor ). É neste contexto que surge a parceria com a ERP Portugal, responsável pela gestão dos resíduos resultantes da actividade da Worten. A entrevista realizada a Vítor Martins, Director de Ambiente da SONAE, espelha as vantagens desta parceria. A parceria entre a Worten e a ERP Portugal data desde o início da legislação para a gestão dos REEE. Quais as principais razões que motivaram a selecção da entidade gestora? A seleção da ERP como entidade gestora dos REEE provenientes da área de negócio da Worten teve por base, por um lado, a análise de custos, mas, sobretudo, o facto de se tratar de um parceiro que nos fornece uma gestão bastante completa e eficiente. De acordo com a revisão da Directiva Europeia sobre a gestão de REEE, a partir de 2016, cada Estado-Membro deverá recolher 45 toneladas de REEE por cada 100 toneladas de EEE colocadas no mercado, nos três anos anteriores. Como avalia a revisão da Directiva Europeia referente à responsabilidade enquanto Produtor de EEE? A revisão em causa apresenta metas bastante desafiantes, que exigirão um maior empenho das entidades gestoras e dos cidadãos na recolha de REEE. Obviamente, a Worten está 100% disponível e focada para apoiar a ERP e o País a cumprir as novas metas estipuladas pela Directiva Europeia. The Worten brand (SONAE Group) combines two roles in the WEEE management system as it is considered Producer because it puts equipments in the national market and has its own white brands of EEE (Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and it also sells this kind of products ( Retailer role). It is in this context that the partnership with ERP Portugal appears, responsible for managing Worten s activities wastes. The interview given by Vítor Martins, SONAE S Environmental Manager, explains this partnerships benefits. The partnership between Worten and ERP Portugal started in the beginning of the WEEE management legislation. What were the main reasons for the selection of the compliance scheme? Choosing ERP as the management compliance scheme for the WEEE coming from Worten s business area was based on, on one hand, cost analysis but, most of all, the fact that ERP is a partner that delivers a complete and efficient management service. According to the European Directive on WEEE management, from 2016 onwards each Member State shall collect 45 tons of WEEE for each 100 tons of EEE put on the market in the three previous years. How do you evaluate the European Directive in terms of responsibility as an EEE Producer? This revision presents quite challenging goals which will demand a bigger commitment from the compliance schemes and from the general population, in terms of WEEE collection. Worten is, obviously, 100% available and focused in supporting ERP, as well as the Country, to meet the new goals established by the European Directive.

19 VISÃO DE... VISION OF... A componente operacional representa um papel de destaque na gestão dos resíduos. Qual a sua opinião acerca do desempenho operacional da ERP Portugal? Temos, seguramente, uma opinião positiva, daí sermos parceiros há tantos anos. Em conjunto com a Worten, a ERP Portugal tem desenvolvido um processo de recolha de REEE bem oleado e eficaz, graças também ao controlo que temos vindo a fazer, em parceria, para garantir que todo o ciclo do resíduo seja bem finalizado. Prova disso são os valores actuais dessa recolha, altamente satisfatórios. A parceria entre a Worten e a ERP estende-se a nível ibérico. Quais as principais vantagens associadas a este factor? Pretendemos ter em Espanha, com a ERP, uma experiência igualmente positiva. Ou seja, pretendemos aplicar no mercado espanhol as mesmas boas práticas de gestão de resíduos que temos em Portugal, mantendo o volume de recolhas. The operational component plays a main role in wastes management. What is your opinion on ERP Portugal s operational performance? We sure have a positive opinion that s why we have been partners for so many years. Along with Worten, ERP Portugal has been developing a well-functioning and effective WEEE collection process, also due to the tight control we have been exercising, in partnership, in order to guarantee that the whole wastes cycle is well completed. The current amounts of this collection, highly satisfactory, are good proof of it. The partnership between Worten and ERP spreads through Iberia. What are the main advantages associated to this fact? We aim at having, in Spain, the same positive experience with ERP. That is, we intend to apply in the Spanish market, the same good wastes management practices we have in Portugal, maintaining the collection volume. 07 PRETENDEMOS APLICAR NO MERCADO ESPANHOL AS MESMAS BOAS PRÁTICAS DE GESTÃO DE RESÍDUOS QUE TEMOS EM PORTUGAL (...). WE INTEND TO APPLY IN THE SPANISH MARKET, THE SAME GOOD WASTES MANAGEMENT PRACTICES WE HAVE IN PORTUGAL (...). Desde o início que a ERP tem apostado em acções/campanhas de comunicação e sensibilização directas com o target. Entre estas campanhas destacamos o Depositrão, enquadrado na iniciativa Equipa Worten Equipa. Como tem sido o feedback acerca da existência do Depositrão nas lojas Worten? O feedback tem sido muito positivo. Com a presença do Depositrão nas nossas lojas, que surge associado ao projecto de responsabilidade social Equipa Worten Equipa, temos vindo a aumentar a recolha de velhos equipamentos. O cliente sabe que todas as lojas Worten têm um Depositrão, onde podem colocar, directamente e sem demoras ou burocracias, os velhos equipamentos eléctricos e electrónicos que já não utilizam. Com o bónus de, ao fazê-lo, estar a contribuir para o Equipa Worten Equipa, através do qual oferecemos 50 euros, em novos equipamentos, a instituições de solidariedade portuguesas, por cada tonelada de REEE recolhida. Desde 2009, ano de arranque do projecto, até 2012, o Equipa Worten Equipa já recolheu mais de toneladas de REEE e apoiou mais de 1000 instituições portuguesas (traduzido no apoio directo a mais de 245 mil utentes). Que mensagem ambiental gostariam de transmitir para 2013? Nestes próximos três anos, teremos a missão importante e fulcral de reforçar e solidificar esta nossa parceria com a ERP, para que consigamos, em conjunto, contribuir decisivamente para o cumprimento das metas ambiciosas definidas pela União Europeia para 2016, no que toca à gestão de REEE. From the beginning, ERP has been focusing on communication and awareness activities/campaigns directly with the target. From these campaigns we highlight Depositrão, as part of the Team Worten Team initiative. What feedback have you received regarding the existence of the Depositrão in Worten s stores? We have received very positive feedback. With the presence of the Depositrão in our stores, which is linked to the social responsibility project Team Worten Team, we have been increasing the collection of old equipments. The customer knows that all Worten stores have a Depositrão where they may deposit, directly and with no delays or bureaucracies, the old electrical and electronic equipments they no longer use. With the extra bonus of, by contributing for the Team Worten Team, through which we offer 50 euros in new equipments, to Portuguese social solidarity institutions, per each ton of collected WEEE. Since 2009, the year the project was launched, until 2012, the Team Worten Team has already collected more than tons of WEEE and supported more than 1000 Portuguese institutions (which actually translate to direct support of more than 245 thousand users). What environmental message would you like to transmit for 2013? In the following three years we have the important and crucial mission to reinforce and solidify our partnership with ERP in order to be able to, along with ERP, actively contribute to the ambitious goals established by the European Union for 2016, in terms of WEEE management.

20 FACTOS E NÚMEROS FACTS AND NUMBERS REDE DE RECOLHA ERP PORTUGAL ERP PORTUGAL S COLLECTION NETWORK A rede de recolha de resíduos é parte decisiva da gestão integrada, na medida em que está na base do seu funcionamento, sem recolha não há resíduos para tratar, reciclar ou valorizar. Assim, e de acordo com as responsabilidades dos intervenientes definidas no Decreto-Lei 230/2004, de 10 de Dezembro: The wastes collection network is a decisive part of the integrated management, as it is the basis of its functioning; no collection no wastes to treat, recycle or recover. As such, and according to the intervenients responsibilities established in the Decree Law 230/2004 from December 10 th : 2 - Sobre os utilizadores impende a obrigação de proceder à entrega gratuita dos REEE que detenham nas instalações de recolha selectiva a tal destinadas, de acordo com as informações fornecidas. (Artigo 9º, DL 230/2004, 10 de Dezembro) 2 - Upon the users relies the obligation to make a free of charge delivery of the WEEE they may have on the selective collection s premises existing for that effect, according to the information given. (Article 9, DL 230/2004, December 10 th ) 08 Para facilitar o correcto encaminhamento dos resíduos, a entidade gestora responde com a composição de uma rede de recolha capilar, disponível em todo o país que, por sua vez, se divide entre centros de recepção, Depositrões e pontos de venda de EEE, totalizando cerca de 1700 pontos de recolha. António Magalhães, responsável de Operações da ERP Portugal frisa que: a rede de recolha de proximidade criada pela ERP Portugal disponibiliza cerca de 1000 Depositrões distribuídos em localizações estratégicas que facilitam o encaminhamento de REEE e RP&A, nomeadamente por escolas, lojas e espaços públicos. A nossa aposta na criação de mais pontos desta natureza permite-nos incrementar o volume de recolhas e, consequentemente, o nível de resíduos valorizados e/ou reciclados, cumprindo as metas estabelecidas em sede de licença. In order to facilitate the WEEE s correct guidance, the compliance scheme created a capillary collection network, available throughout the country, which is divided into receiving centers, Depositrões and EEE shops, in a total of around 1700 collection points. António Magalhães, the person in charge of ERP Portugal s Operations states that the proximity collection network created by ERP Portugal has available, around, 1000 Depositrões scattered by strategic locations which facilitate WEEE and WB&A guidance, namely in schools, stores and public areas. Our focus on creating more spots of this kind allows us to increase the collection volume and, consequently, the level of recovered and/or recycled wastes, meeting the goals established in the Permit.
