For Producers & Importers

25 years ago, we took an important step towards a circular economy with the introduction of extended producer responsibility.
And it has delivered results: in just one generation, 3 billion kilograms of electronic waste have been collected and recycled to a high standard! Today, we collaborate with 30,000 collection points for both consumers and businesses. Together, we’re also setting the stage for the next generations.

Our Approach

Our approach ensures a level playing field where all producers and importers contribute equally. We continuously innovate and improve the collection system. Collectively, we implement individual producer responsibility. In close cooperation with industry organizations, we represent the interests of 5,000 affiliated producers and importers. Thanks to our network and research, they can respond more quickly to future changes. Together, we ensure that discarded devices, lamps, and batteries don’t end up as useless waste but instead become valuable resources for reuse in the next generation of products.
