How does the waste management fee refund for indirect export work?

If you export electrical appliances and/or lamps (EEE) that you have purchased from a Dutch producer/importer affiliated with Stichting OPEN. You can reclaim the waste management fee paid for this EEE. This EEE will most likely not end up in the Netherlands' waste stream at the end of its useful life. Therefore no costs are incurred for collection and appropriate processing. Do you want to make use of this? Then sign up. The export refund scheme (version 1.1.2023) including the conditions can be found here: Export Refund Scheme June 2023. For more information and application, please contact the Producer Services Department at producenten@stichting-open.org.
