Since 1 March 2021, Stichting OPEN is responsible for the collection and recycling of all electronical devices, lamps, (bicycle) batteries in the Netherlands on behalf of all producers of electrical appliances. Together with partners we are joining forces to collect at least two-thirds of all e-waste.

Under the flag of Wecycle, Stichting OPEN keeps running campaigns to encourage consumers and companies to separate and hand in e-waste, energy efficient lighting and batteries at one of the thousands Wecycle collection points.

Collect

A major effort is still needed to achieve an even higher collection. Only in this way we can reclaim as many raw materials as possible and save as much CO2 as possible. In short: we make recycling smart and accessible with a network of thousands collection points.

Recycle

In recent years we have succeeded in significantly improving the collection and recycling of e-waste. It is now time for the next step. Jobs, opportunities and a route to new raw materials are key words.

Educate

We run our Wecycle campaigns to stimulate the collection and recycling of e-waste. We do this by increasing the knowledge of the Dutch and strengthening their “recycle” self-confidence.

Report

Joining Stichting OPEN must be done by the producer or importer who puts an appliance on the Dutch market for the first time. Stichting OPEN -with all its partners- takes care of the collection and processing at the moment that appliances are discarded.
