For True Circularity

El-Kretsen is Sweden’s largest producer responsibility organization with a nationwide collection and recycling system for electrical waste and batteries.

El-Kretsen is Sweden’s leading producer responsibility organization for electrical equipment and batteries. We offer a nationwide collection system that helps you as a producer, importer, retailer, or municipality meet the legal requirements under producer responsibility, as well as a range of services for environmental reporting.

Through cooperation with all 290 municipalities in Sweden, around 15 transporters, and approximately 30 recycling facilities, El-Kretsen ensures that collected electrical waste is managed in an environmentally sound and efficient manner. Our own analysis facility in Arboga enables us to monitor trends and improve recycling processes.

As a customer, you gain access to digital portals for declarations, statistics, and certificates, making it easy to comply with your obligations and report to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket). We also offer advisory services, training, and informational materials to support your work with producer responsibility.

El-Kretsen aims to make a difference – not only in waste management but also by spreading knowledge. That’s why we develop educational materials, films, articles, and surveys that highlight both the ongoing work and the environmental challenges we face. These materials can be used in sustainability and producer responsibility efforts – and to inspire more people to take responsibility.

El-Kretsen is owned by 19 industry associations, which makes us a neutral, non-profit organization focused on creating sustainable solutions for producers and society.

Together, we make it easy to take responsibility for the environment.
