Mission, vision and sustainability

Mission

Elretur guarantees legitimate waste streams and the quality of data and registrations for the authorities. We ensure a new lease of life for end-of-life electrical and electronic products through reuse and/or material recycling.

Vision

Elretur wants to contribute to an increase and improvement in recycling and reuse. We do this by:

focusing on accountability
creating value for our members
contributing to sustainable end-of-life solutions for our members’ products
using efficient and proven solutions, as well as innovative technologies

Sustainability

Recycling and reuse is an integral part of our organisation and daily work. In collaboration with our members, we contribute to the UN’s Global Goals, in particular goals 11, 12 and 14. Challenges associated with electronic waste (WEEE) and batteries can only be solved through cooperation. That is why, through WEEE Europe, we work with a number of other schemes for recycling electronic waste (WEEE) and batteries. We have an ongoing dialogue with the authorities, and contribute with knowledge and data on processing, recycling and reuse of WEEE and batteries in practice.

Retur-familien

Retur er en familie af non-profit kollektive ordninger, der håndterer producentansvaret på elektronik-, batterier-, emballage-, og tekstilprodukter for importører og producenter.

Producentansvar

Som medlem i et eller flere af Retur-familiens kollektive ordninger drager I fordel af vores knap 20 års erfaring og omfattende viden indenfor håndtering af producentansvaret.

Vi hjælper jer ikke kun med at håndtere jeres producentansvar i Danmark. Gennem WEEE-Europe håndterer vi jeres producentansvar i EU, Norge, Schweiz og UK.

Returs kollektive ordninger er blandt de mest omkostningseffektive i EU, og gennem os er I garanteret legitime affaldsstrømme og pålidelig ESG-data.

Ansvarlighed

Genanvendelse og genbrug er en integreret del af vores organisation og daglige arbejde.

Sammen med medlemmerne i vores kollektive ordninger, Elretur, Emballageretur, Batteriretur og Tekstilretur, arbejder Retur for at løfte så mange materialer som muligt ud af affaldsstrømmen gennem genbrug og genanvendelse.

Vores og medlemmernes indsats bidrager til flere af FN’s verdens mål – særligt nr. 11, 12 og 14.
