Together for
sustainable development!

Welcome to El-Kretsen – the website that tells you everything you need to know about producer responsibility and the collection of electrical and electronic waste and batteries. A nationally approved collection system, we’re not here to make a profit but to focus on maintaining efficient systems and serving the environment. Together with our customers, producers, the Swedish municipalities and all our recyclers we have created a world-class recycling system.

Serving businesses since 2001

Do you have producer responsibility? In short, everyone who places electrical equipment on the Swedish market does, whether they manufacture or import the products. “Producer responsibility” means that anyone who places a product on the market is also responsible for making sure that the product is recycled in an environmentally sustainable way once it becomes waste. In 2001, El-Kretsen started helping companies achieve this goal, and we now assist more than 1700 affiliated companies.

We remove the hazardous waste and send as large a part of the materials as possible for use in producing new items. Almost 100 per cent of all collected consumer electronics in Sweden is collected through El-Kretsen, so we are well aware that our business plays an important part in Swedish society as well as for the environment.
