The law decrees that every producer which ´puts an electrical or electronic appliance onto the Belgian market´ is also responsible for collecting and processing the discarded appliances.
As a producer of electrical and electronic equipment, you are thus responsible for taking back disused appliances at the end of their use cycle. This is the so-called take-back obligation.
