Collection and Recycling Arrangements for 爱游戏平台注册登录 Customers in Belgium

Since July 2001, a take-back obligation has been imposed by law on manufacturers and importers of electrical and electronic equipment. The not-for-profit organization Recupel was established to organize this obligation. It coordinates the collection and recycling of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) throughout Belgium.

According to Directive 2002/96/EC electrical and electronic medical devices and laboratory equipment have also come under the take-back and recycling obligation for waste electrical and electronic equipment. The regional governments agreed to implement the obligation in a practical way in a collective system starting on July 1st 2005. The organization MeLaRec was founded for this purpose as a division of Recupel.

爱游戏平台注册登录 has established a recycling contract with 2 divisions of Recupel: MeLaRec (for medical devices, monitoring and control instruments) and ICT (screens, PCs and printers). This contract covers our responsibilities for collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of waste electrical and electronic equipment. For each instrument marketed 爱游戏平台注册登录 pays an administrative fee to Recupel, which is used to cover administrative costs and reporting to the authorities according to the take-back obligation.

If you have an end of life 爱游戏平台注册登录 instrument you want to dispose of:

  1. Please contact Recupel at www.recupel.be to register as non-private discarder
