The legislation stipulates that each company that 'brings an electro-appliance onto the Belgian market' must also take care of the collection and processing of the discarded appliances.

As a distributor or end-seller, when a customer purchases a new product, you are obliged to take back the similar discarded product that the customer is discarding, free of charge. In addition, you must also inform your customers about the processing of discarded appliances and about the contributions for the processing.
