Elretur Danmark

Elretur is Denmark's largest producer responsibility organisation, representing many different industries and types of companies. We handle the producer responsibility obligations for electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and batteries on behalf of our more than 800 members. In other words, Elretur ensures responsible and cost-effective collection and treatment of approx. 80% of the electronics and battery waste that is delivered in Denmark's recycling centres. You have probably seen our containers at your local recycling centre. We are constantly working to improve the collection, recycling and reuse of electronic waste (WEEE) and batteries. In addition, we handle our members' reports to the authorities, so that the authorities can follow developments within the area and have the right basis for making political decisions. Elretur was formed as an association in 2005 by manufacturers and importers of electrical and electronic products. We are a non-profit organisation.
