Well arranged by Stichting OPEN

We are
Stichting OPEN

Stichting OPEN is, on behalf of all producers and importers in the Netherlands, responsible for collecting and recycling discarded devices, lamps, batteries – including (bike) batteries and solar panels. We’re committed to a circular disposal chain where these products don’t end up as waste, but as a valuable source for reuse.

About our organization

You may know us from Wecycle

Through its Wecycle brand, Stichting OPEN encourages consumers and businesses to always dispose of discarded appliances, lamps and batteries safely, so they can be given a second life as a product, component or raw material. You’ll find Wecycle in education, public information, campaigns and drop-off points for consumers and businesses.
