ERA-WEEElogic-Austria

WEEElogic is extending its network with ERA the leading Austrian compliance scheme. 

WEEElogic and ERA have signed a partnership agreement to offer a dedicated one-stop solution in Austria and in Europe.

WEEElogic and ERA have entered this partnership to strengthen their ability to offer comprehensive WEEE-compliance solutions for manufacturers in European. WEEElogic is the  European compliance hub for WEEE (e-waste, battery waste and packaging) and ERA is the leading compliance scheme in Austria. The partnership is key for producers looking for centralized services and easy coordination of compliance across Europe.

 

How do producers deal with environmental end-of-life obligations?

In Europe, companies selling Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) including devices[1] and batteries[2] as well as placing packaging on the market for the first time, must meet specific environmental obligations.

 

In order to simplify the management of these responsibilities, WEEElogic provides services to producers [3]. Since 2013, producers can centralize and delegate proceedings/administrative burden to WEEElogic and its partners, i.e. appropriate compliance and take-back schemes for WEEE, battery and packaging obligations in each country.

 

“We are very happy to announce this partnership. ERA will be the solution partner for WEEE compliance in Austria and we strongly believe that having strong regional partners on board is the best way to provide fast and easy compliance to access services to international manufacturers who have to deal with various environmental regulations throughout Europe. WEEElogic and ERA share the same vision of pragmatic and relevant services for producers”

Romain Letenneur, Managing Director of WEEElogic.
