  The implementation of the EU WEEE Directive (2012/19/EU) is accomplished in most of the EU Member Countries. Germany’s transposition, the so called new ElektroG, has entered into force on October 24, 2015. The new ElektroG introduces some major changes to producers’ obligations. Furthermore, Stiftung ear has adapted the registration procedures to meet the new requirements.
