EPR & Take-back

VoCoVo is dedicated to minimising our environmental impact and fostering a circular economy, making effective waste management a vital part of our sustainability strategy.

Our approach focuses on waste prevention, increasing reuse and recycling, responsible disposal, and collaboration across our entire value chain.

As a supplier operating in most European countries, VoCoVo fully complies with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements for our Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), Batteries, and Packaging. This means we register with waste management schemes, report on the products we place on the market, and finance the corresponding schemes.

• What this means for our customers:

We cover the costs. VoCoVo retains full financial responsibility for all EPR compliance fees and internalises these costs within our operations. This ensures transparency and provides an extra level of service by guaranteeing consistent funding for compliance.

We manage end-of-life (EOL) obligations. VoCoVo absorbs the cost of taking back and disposing of all end-of-life VoCoVo WEEE, batteries, and packaging in countries where we have EPR obligations.

To ensure the correct disposal and management of products once they reach the end of their life cycle, we require your cooperation as customers.

Each product needs to be disposed of correctly and it is your responsibility to destine it to the appropriate waste facilities.

Our three key waste streams include:

• WEEE
• Batteries
• Packaging
