WHAT IS RECUPEL?

WIE IS RECUPEL?

Recupel organises the
collection and processing
of end-of-life electrical
and electronic equipment
and light bulbs in Belgium.

Manufacturers and importers of electrical and electronic appliances are legally responsible for the collection and processing of the end-of-life equipment (e-waste). Recupel ensures that e-waste is collected and processed in a sustainable and cost-efficient way.

WHAT DOES RECUPEL COLLECT?

For collection, we work together with retailers, municipalities, second-hand shops, regional authorities and inter-municipal cooperative societies. For transport and recycling, we partner with certified companies that comply with the strictest European standards.

With our campaigns, we raise awareness among consumers and businesses to bring their old or broken appliances to recycling parks or second-hand shops.

Recupel helps to close the material loop by collecting end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment and offering them to the recycling sector. If the appliances cannot be repaired, they are dismantled, and the materials reused. In this way, we contribute to the circular economy.

RECUPEL AS A HUB IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Environmental protection. By collecting e-waste, we prevent harmful substances in electrical and electronic equipment ending up in the environment. We work with certified companies to remove these substances professionally.
