Impact of Open Scope for producers of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

“Would you allow your child to drive a car before they held an official driver’s license?”

WEEElogic is willing to expand its partnership network coverage to offer compliance and recycling as well as circular economy solutions to manufacturers, OEM’s, distant sellers and importers.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is now implemented across many countries as a means of organising the management of waste.

Indeed, the principle stands for a health and environmentally-friendly waste management system.

Waste is no longer the sole responsibility of the end-user (consumers, municipalities or businesses) but falls to the entity that first made the goods available by placing them on the local market.

In Europe as of August 15th 2018 printer cartridges containing electrical parts such as a chip will have to be reported and compliant with WEEE legislation in each EU member state.

Ecolec, the most important Spanish compliance and take back scheme has published its new website. 

Ecolec is a partner of WEEElogic for the Spanish market.

Who has WEEE obligations?

Not only OEMs, but also remanufacturers, refillers and any other third-party cartridge producer
