Set fixed product taxes, such as WEEE / DEEE in the EU.
Fixed product taxes provide a method of managing and regulating the entire life cycle of products with respect to the environment. This type of tax is popular in the EU, where governments use it to control the production and disposal of certain goods. Examples are the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulation and the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Tax (WEEE).
Fixed taxes on products help reduce hazardous waste, encourage resource efficiency and stimulate the development of greener technologies. These taxes can be successful if applied correctly and with manufacturers' guidelines in mind.
