Targets of the ERA WEE Scheme

Enterprise Support / Development Goals

ERA’s commitment to enterprise development hinges on achieving core budget prerequisites through EPR Fees income. The present circumstances display substantial unpredictability in this regard.

Job Support / Creation Goals

For every 1,000 tons of WEEE managed, approximately 25 jobs are sustained. This implies that the management of 9,000 tons of WEEE will underpin the sustenance of around 250 jobs. During the 2023 Financial Year a number of jobs were created through ERA – 113 full-time and 12 part-time jobs.

EPR Scheme Collection / Recycling Target Range

2024 GOAL
20 000 tonnes – a third of the DFFE national e-waste target of 61 000 tonnes
