Producer Responsibility for Other Electrical Equipment

Do you supply electrical equipment used only by professional users? Then you are subject to producer responsibility for other electrical equipment.

Do you manufacture, import, or sell electrical equipment that is used only in professional environments? Then you are subject to producer responsibility and are accountable for ensuring that the products are properly managed when they become waste.

Producer responsibility for other electrical equipment is extensive, with many requirements to meet and regulations to follow. El-Kretsen’s comprehensive service covers administration and reporting, and we can assist with collection and recycling tailored to the products you are responsible for – making it easier for you to meet your obligations.

What Qualifies as Other Electrical Equipment?

Electrical products not intended for consumers but designed for professional use are considered other electrical equipment. Examples include:

• Industrial machines
• Point-of-sale systems
• Hospital beds and X-ray machines
• Laboratory equipment
• Illuminated road signs

Efficient Collection and Recycling

When affiliated with El-Kretsen, you can refer your customers to our nationwide collection system. At many recycling centres, companies can drop off smaller quantities of waste, provided the products fit in the containers available on site.

For larger volumes or bulky waste, flexible solutions are available – including pick-up directly from the customer’s premises or delivery to designated facilities. The cost for these services primarily depends on distance and type of waste and is quoted separately.

Simple Reporting – at No Extra Cost

El-Kretsen helps you meet your statutory obligations by managing your annual reporting to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket). This service is free of charge for customers who have signed a Reporting Agreement.

Easily Declare through the Declaration Portal

As a customer, you get access to El-Kretsen’s Declaration Portal, where you can:

• Declare your sold volumes monthly or quarterly
• Access product classification guidance
• Download certificates, agreements, and statistics

What Does It Cost?

El-Kretsen’s fees consist of annual agreement fees and environmental fees for products and batteries, divided into various product codes. The fees reflect the actual costs of collection and recycling.
