Foundation

ZEOS d.o.o. is a Slovenian non-profit organisation founded in 2005 by main Slovenian producers and retailers of electrical and electronic equipment. Its mission, goals, and role are derived from the requirements of the European WEEE Directive and the environmental legislation of the Republic of Slovenia. The organisation’s primary activity is the implementation of the extended producer responsibility system by offering its clients joint compliance schemes for waste electrical and electronic equipment, portable batteries, industrial batteries, and waste grave candles. With its extensive collection network and contractual partners ZEOS ensures the fulfilment of producers’ extended responsibilities in Slovenia. Additionally, ZEOS has a subsidiary company in Bosnia and Herzegovina (ZEOS eko-sistem), further extending its reach and impact in the region.

As the largest WEEE joint compliance scheme in Slovenia, ZEOS organises more than 10,000 waste pickups each year. Thus, by joining ZEOS scheme, producers, retailers, and importers can easily and conveniently ensure the compliance with all legal obligations, while contributing to sustainable practices and supporting the circular economy in Slovenia.

Collection system  

ZEOS operates:

  • 63 “green corners” placed at retail,
  • 39 locations at partner collectors,
  • 160  municipal collection points and waste collection/recycling centres,
  • 798 street containers,
  • 1 mobile collection container that offers mobile collection of WEEE across Slovenia.

Treatment partners

ZEOS is charging treatment partners from national market and from abroad. One part, especially the treatment of cooling and freezing appliances, gas discharge lamps and the treatment of dismantled cathode ray tubes and batteries is done abroad. For the treatment of the rest of WEEE, ZEOS is using already existing infrastructure of Slovenia, also removing hazardous components from large and small appliances. Each specific logistic region is related to one treatment plant for each flow served by one logistic operator.
