Thank you for completing the check. Based on your answers, you do have producer responsibility. Meaning that you have a legal duty and responsibility to collect and recycle discarded batteries and accumulators.
As it is not easy to meet this legal obligation individually, Stichting OPEN offers support through a collective system. Click here to fill in the registration form. Registration is free of charge.
After confirming your registration, you will receive additional information by email to join one or more management plans, including:
Periodically, you tell us how many batteries you were the first to put on the Dutch market. Depending on the type of battery, you pay a management fee. Check our rates here. With this contribution, Stichting OPEN ensures, among other things, that your batteries and accumulators are collected through a nationwide collection network, that consumers and companies are informed about the importance of separate collection, and that batteries and accumulators are recycled safely and responsibly. As no management fee is paid for batteries above 3 kg, this category falls outside our collection network and you must arrange collection and recycling for these batteries yourself.
Do you have any questions or comments? Or would you prefer a personal conversation? Contact our team Producer Services on 079 – 760 06 30 or by e-mail to deelnemerszaken@stichting-open.org.
