Join us for EPR compliance solutions

Created by producers for producers, the European Recycling Platform (ERP) enables these companies to meet environmental obligations under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) frameworks for waste electronic and electrical equipment (EEE), batteries, packaging and, most recently, textiles.

By passing on the advantages of multinational recycling operations to customers, ERP has proved to be the most competitive and self-oriented solution for compliance, takeback services and waste treatment and recycling in a highly regulated landscape.

Our circular solutions for producers and brands are available across nearly 40 PROs globally, such as Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and the UK.

Founded in 2002 by Hewlett-Packard, Electrolux, Sony, and Procter & Gamble, ERP was the first multi-country solution for EPR compliance as a response to the WEEE Directive.

Today, we are 450+ employees from 30+ nationalities, a community of circular economy experts striving to do business in a different way.

Become part of our global circular solutions driven by simplicity and efficiency!

Our scope: EPR

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy that makes producers responsible for the entire life cycle of the products that they introduce on the market from their design until end of life (including waste collection and recycling).

Under EPR regulations, liable companies must mitigate the environmental impacts of their products throughout the entire product life cycle.

International trade and increasing consumption make recycling an urgent and overly complex task ERP helps focus the effort to achieve the greatest possible impact for consumers, producers, and society.
