WEEE Takeback & Reporting Requirements

Under the WEEE directive and related national laws, companies placing electrical and electronic equipment on the EU market have several types of reporting obligations. They must:

• Register with the national producer registry in each market country.
• Make periodic reports on the quantities and types of equipment placed on the market and quantities recovered. In some cases, third-party recovery organizations fulfill this obligation in part or in whole on behalf of their members.
• Report to compliance schemes or recyclers the quantities and types of equipment placed on the market
• Provide product information to the recyclers

Deadlines, registration procedures, and reporting schedules vary by country. Many organizations and registries are currently under development
