Joining
A producer applying for
membership in SELT Association fills out SELT membership
application available at the link below and sends it to SELT Association.
Approval of membership
application will be notified to the producer by email. SELT Association's members are also notified to the producer register of the Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment for Pirkanmaa.
A company joining in SELT Association can also register affiliates that put electrical and electronic equipment on Finnish market. Affiliates are registered under parent company's membership and the parent company needs to include affiliates on it's own recycling fee reports and annual reports. Affiliates cannot report on their own. Affiliates can be regisrered with the SELT Affiliate Form below.
Admittance fee and annual membership fee
Admittance fee to the Association is 500 euros for companies with a turnover exceeding 150,000 euros and 250 euros for companies with a
turnover less than 150,000 euros.
If a company produces
electrical and electronic equipment intended only for business use and falling
within the scope of the WEEE directive (B2B equipment), an annual fee
of 250 euros is charged from the company.
Recycling fees and reporting
For electrical and electronic
equipment brought to the Finnish market, intended for consumer use and falling
within the scope of the WEEE directive (B2C), a recycling fee subject to the
price list of the Elker Group will be charged. For the products in question SELT Association
requests reports every 3 months (four times a year). Recycling fees are charged
from the producer based on the reports.
Recycling fees of consumer products are based
on the recycling costs of equipment returned to recycling. The costs in
question are allocated between producers in accordance with the number of
equipment put on the market by them. The recycling fees of business products
arise as the equipment are returned for recycling.
If a company has put electrical and electronic equipment on the Finnish
market before joining producer organisation recycling fee reports for
B2C products need to be filled in retrospectively for three years prior
to the joining year.
The price list of the Elker Group is
intended exclusively for the members. In pricing matters a new company joining
the membership of the producer organisation can seek advise from employees of
Elker Oy.
Recycling fee as part of product price
Recycling fee is a fixed part of product cost which
forms part of the product price from producer to end-user. After 2011 the
recycling fee should not be shown separately from the product price. Until then
the practice can be settled by the producers.
