Registration in collective scheme

A collective scheme offers to producers and importers to carry out most tasks in connection with producer responsibility.

Collective schemes are commercial enterprises working on a competitive market. The schemes are organized differently and have different focus on types of businesses and categories of equipment.

Note! If you are a member of a collective scheme this scheme will assume registration in the DPA-System register.

Producers and importers selling equipment destined for private use have normally an interest in joining a collective scheme since the producer responsibility scheme for private households entails extensive tasks in terms of administration and logistics, for example in connection with collection of allocated WEEE.

Under the producer responsibility scheme for professional equipment the producer or the importer is free to solve tasks under the producer responsibility individually. The company can thus assume management (including transfer of responsibility) of WEEE according to current rules and register in the DPA-System producer register without making use of a collective scheme.
