Other players
In addition to producers/importers and authorities a large number of other players have roles to play under the producer responsibility scheme.
| Collective Schemes | Producers and importers may choose to transfer some of the tasks under the producer responsibility to a so-called collective scheme or they may assume duties individually (individual compliers). See collective schemes in Denmark on next page. |
|
Auditors: |
Producers selling equipment to private users must submit an auditor’s attestation in connection with their annual reporting, certifying marketed quantities. |
|
Recycling industries: |
When electrical equipment becomes WEEE it must be collected and treated in view of recycling. This task must be assumed by environmentally approved hauliers and recycling industries. |
|
Dealers and distributors: |
Dealers and distributors of electrical equipment are not necessarily subject to producer responsibility, but they may have some duties in connection with sale and take-back. |
|
Users: |
Users – private as well as professional – can use their purchasing power and their management of WEEE to ensure that the purpose of producer responsibility is attained. |
|
WEEE-registers in the EU: |
Since WEEE legislation has been implemented all over the EU sister producer responsibility registers exist in all EU Member States. These registers have established a European WEEE Registers Network – EWRN. |
On these pages you can find detailed information and links to these players.
