How does Elker recycle?

We strive to use the best technology available and minimize impacts on environment in all our operations.

Elker collects WEEE from over 400 household reception points along with the reception points addressed to business products and companies. WEEE is packed and processed as close as possible to the place of origin of the waste to achieve optimally effective transportation.

Elker works in tight cooperation with 19 processors around Finland. All WEEE returned to Elker's reception points is processed mainly in Finland.

We require that the processors adhere to a standardised quality system e.g. ISO 14001 environmental system so that we can be sure of the quality of the operations. The operations comply with, and even surpass the requirements of laws and regulations, and is also cost-effective at the same time.
