Producer organisations
Elker Ltd is a service company
established by the producer organisations SELT Association, ICT Producer Co-operative,
and FLIP Association. According to the law, the producer responsibility of producers
can be transferred to a producer organisation. The above producer organisations
have transferred obligations, by agreements, to Elker Ltd.


Taking care of obligations
Elker Ltd is liable for its owners' obligations
in such a manner that the obligations set out in the EU's WEEE directive and the corresponding
obligations of the Finnish legislation are fulfilled. You can find information
about producer responsibility and joining in as a member in one of our producer organisations via the links to
the left.
Benefits based on co-operation
As a member of a producer organisation a
company can benefit from administrative, volume and logistics synergies arising
from collective procurement and can affect the procurement of these services.
Moreover, the member company of a producer organisation need not submit
separate notices to the register maintained by the supervising authority Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment for Pirkanmaa.
Joining as member in a producer organisation
A producer can join in as a member in only one of the producer organisations. Correct producer organisation is chosen by defining under which producer organisation's product categories most of the company's products belong to. You can find more information about the WEEE-categories each producer organisation takes care of and how to join in as member on the left side linklist on this page.
