WEEE EPR fees worldwide
Electrical and electronic equipment take-back fees across 46 countries — compared by mechanism, not ranked, because units and bases differ.
How to read WEEE EPR fees
WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) producer fees fund collection and treatment of electronics placed on the market. Schemes publish very different units — per kilogram, per item, or by statutory category — so this hub never ranks countries against each other.
Each cell keeps the scheme’s own unit and basis. Open a country or PRO page for the source link and verification date before you budget or file.
Use the calculator for a rough packaging estimate; for WEEE, treat published ranges as orientation and confirm category mapping with your authorised scheme.
Why there's no single ranked table
Most rates in this category have no per-kilogram equivalent: some are quoted per item, some in currencies this site doesn't convert, some with different tax treatment. Ranking figures measured on different bases would look authoritative and mean nothing — so this page shows published rate ranges per category and country, each in its own unit, never converted or ranked against each other.
What holds across countries
- Wherever the tariff is set by weight, lamps are the most expensive category — mercury and gas-discharge tubes cost an order of magnitude more to treat than anything else.
- Where the fee must be shown on the invoice, competing schemes stop competing on price: France requires WEEE fees to be itemised and non-discountable, so rival schemes' rates converge almost exactly.
- Household and professional equipment are funded as separate regimes, not two columns of one table — several countries run them as entirely distinct fee series.
- The fee for professional equipment takes one of three forms: a published per-unit charge, a quote on request, or — as in Ireland — a figure the law forbids from being shown at all.

FAQs
What is EPR?+
Extended Producer Responsibility means producers pay for collection and recycling of products they place on the market — packaging, electronics, batteries, textiles and more. Fees usually go to a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO).
What is a PRO?+
A Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) is the authorised take-back scheme that collects EPR fees and organises recycling for a given EPR. Some countries have one PRO; others have competing Pros.
Do you cover more than packaging?+
Yes — textiles, batteries, WEEE and additional EPR are listed by country. Packaging has the deepest tariff tables; other EPR grow as published grids appear.
Other EPR →How current are these figures?+
Each country page shows a verified “as of” date for the source we last checked. We keep collecting and refreshing published fees on an ongoing basis. Treat this as a research reference and confirm against the official source before you file or invoice.
Where do the numbers come from?+
We collect and curate published EPR fees for each market. Every country page shows a verification date and links to the official source. Before filing or invoicing, confirm against that source.
