Producer responsibility for electronics and batteries means that all companies that produce and sell electronics or batteries must contribute to covering the costs of collecting and recycling the products. Producer responsibility is based on an EU directive from 2005 and aims to contribute to increased sustainability.

Companies that sell electronics intended for use by private consumers, so-called consumer electrical equipment, must, according to producer responsibility, be connected to Recipo or another nationally approved collection system. Consumer electrical equipment includes all products that may be used in households, even if the sale takes place between companies.

Companies that sell so-called professional electrical equipment, electronics intended for use in companies and businesses, must report their sales statistics to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. This can be done by joining Recipo. These companies also need to achieve the recycling levels set out in the Regulation on Producer Responsibility for Electrical Equipment.
