Our core business
Our activities for the efficient processing of discarded appliances, lamps, and batteries
With various activities, we are committed to the sustainable and efficient processing of discarded appliances, lamps, and batteries.
Collection and recycling: Together with our partners, we operate a nationwide collection network with 30,000 drop-off points. Here, discarded appliances, lamps, and batteries are safely collected, transported, and processed. In 2023, this resulted in 219 million kilograms of electronic waste being collected—a record!
Education and awareness: Through our Wecycle and Wecycle for Businesses campaigns and educational resources, we enhance knowledge and awareness about handling electronic waste. By sharing knowledge, we contribute to a circular future.

For years, we have been building the Wecycle brand, through which we tell a comprehensive recycling story. The energy, investments, and choices behind the numerous campaigns are paying off. Wecycle receives a 7.8 rating from consumers.
- Reporting: We ensure compliance with the legal producer responsibility on behalf of all producers and importers of electrical appliances, lamps, batteries, and (bicycle) batteries. Our reports and data contribute to the development of effective and circular policies for electronic waste. In doing so, we support our chain partners in moving forward.
- Knowledge Sharing: We serve as a partner for governments and policymakers. Our data and insights assist them in developing and optimizing circular policies. Together with chain partners, we conduct research and expand our knowledge of the circular economy. This knowledge is shared through our platform circulairekennis.nl, enabling all chain partners to benefit from it.
