Professional users

It is not legal to place electrical equipment on the market for which nobody has assumed producer responsibility.

Professional users can check whether producers/importers have assumed the statutory producer responsibility for a given electrical product. You can look for the statutory symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin, and you can search for brand or company name in the national producer register in the search field in the upper right-hand corner.

How can professional users reduce WEEE arisings?

Professional users may reduce WEEE arisings by:

• Buying less products
• Buying products with a longer useful life, i.e. products that may be upgraded and repaired
• Replacing operational equipment less frequently.

Professional users may also choose to buy eco-friendly products, for instance products without brominated flame retardants.

How can professional users discard waste electrical products?

Businesses holding large quantities of WEEE similar to household WEEE that the local authority is not obliged to receive can take it directly to the collection sites of the collective schemes. Access to these sites must be agreed with the collective scheme.

You can find information about the regional collection sites of the collective schemes, their geographical location and contact information through the link on your right-hand side.
