(19) Users of electrical and electronic equipment from private households should have the possibility of returning WEEE at least free of charge. Producers should finance at leasttherefore finance throughout the whole waste chain, including distributors, the collection from collection facilities, and the treatment, recovery and disposal of WEEE. Member States should encourage producers to take full ownership of the WEEE collection in particular by financingall stakeholders handling WEEE to help achieve the collobjectionve of WEEE throughout the whole waste chain, including from private households,the Directive in order to avoid leakage of separately collected WEEE to sub-optimal treatment and illegal exports, to create a level playing field by harmonising producer financing across the EU,. In order to shift payment for the collection of this waste from general tax payers to the consumers of EEE in line with the polluter pays principle, Member States should encourage producers to treat all WEEE collected. In order to facilitate proper treatment, consumers have the responsibility to ensure that end-of-life EEE is taken to collection facilities. In order to give maximum effect to the concept of producer responsibility, each producer should be responsible for financing the management of the waste from his own products. The producer should be able to choose to fulfil this obligation either individually or by joining a collective scheme. Each producer should, when placing a product on the market, provide a financial guarantee to prevent costs for the management of WEEE from orphan products from falling on society or the remaining producers. The responsibility for the financing of the management of historical waste should be shared by all existing producers in collective financing schemes to which all producers, existing on the market when the costs occur, contribute proportionately. Collective financing schemes should not have the effect of excluding niche and low-volume producers, importers and new entrants.
