Erion WEEE
financing model

The Collective Scheme adopts different financing models based on the type of products (Household EEE, Photovoltaic modules, Professional EEE).
A fixed annual fee is also payable by all Members to cover administrative and assistance costs.

Household WEEE

As regards the management of Household WEEE, in addition to the annual fee, each Producer is required to pay a fee to the Collective Scheme for each item or kg placed on the market, necessary to finance the operations of collection, transport, treatment, recovery and disposal of WEEE.

Each Producer can choose between two different ways of applying this fee:

  • fee expressed in EUR/item;
  • fee expressed in EUR/kg.

2026 Fees

Fees valid from 1 February 2026

For all Members that joined Erion WEEE before 31 December 2024

The fixed annual fee is set at EUR 240.00 + VAT

Photovoltaics

The Contributions applied by Erion WEEE are derived from the sum of two components (shown in the “EUR/household unit” and the “Trust EUR/unit” columns). The complex regulations currently governing the end-of-life of photovoltaic panels provides that every panel put on the market must finance at the same time:

a) the costs of treating the panel itself, which will occur after N years if that panel (when it becomes waste) ends up in the Professional WEEE chain;

b) the costs, in proportion to its weight, of treating Household WEEE of Group R4 occurring in the year in which that panel is put on the market.

To cover the costs referred to in point a) above, for each photovoltaic panel put on the market the amount indicated in the “Trust EUR/unit” column is set apart in a Trust: each panel put on the market therefore has an amount uniquely associated to it (by means of its serial number) available in the Trust, which will be ‘released’ when that panel becomes waste and the Compliance Scheme shall provide for its treatment.

Each panel put on the market contributes instead to the costs referred to in point b) with the amount indicated in the “EUR/household unit” column.

Professional WEEE

The legislation provides for a different financing model for waste deriving from professional equipment, i.e. designed for exclusively professional use. The Producer will have to bear the costs of managing WEEE on demand, i.e. when the end user requests it.

In each of these cases, the Collective Scheme will send the Member a specific quotation for executing the requested service.

Producers participating in the Exceed Program, the first voluntary generational collection and recycling system of Professional WEEE, shall pay to the Collective Scheme the fees indicated in table below in order to implement efficient networks for the collection and treatment of professional end-of-life equipment.
