ERP continues strong growth trend by welcoming 1,000th member
BrusselsBelgium
ERP was founded on the principle of providing high-quality, yet low-cost WEEE solutions as an alternative to national compliance schemes. This business model has proved to be highly successful, evidenced by ERP’s rapid growth and expansion. After less than five years, ERP is present in 29 European countries. In this time, ERP has collected and treated over 180,000 tonnes of WEEE and seen rapid expansion in its membership.
Umberto Raiteri, CEO of ERP, says, “We are very proud that ERP now has 1,000 members. This is a huge accomplishment, and it reaffirms that our members value the service we provide. ERP has always aimed to be a market leader, and we are pleased that companies trust us with their WEEE needs. We look forward to welcoming more members as we continue our strong growth trend in the coming years.”
One reason why ERP is so attractive to companies looking for a compliance scheme is because it provides tailor-made WEEE solutions for each of its members. By offering three levels of membership (European Member, National Member, or Associated Member) in the nine countries where ERP operates directly, as well as the possibility of extension to a further 22 countries through the Europe Plus Package, each member receives affordable, effective WEEE compliance suited exactly to its needs and the country’s requirements.
As one of the first pan-European compliance schemes, ERP operates directly inAustria , France , Germany , Ireland , Poland , Portugal , Spain and the UK 2007 in Italy Belgium , Bulgaria , Cyprus , the Czech Republic , Denmark , Estonia , Finland , Greece , Hungary , Latvia , Lithuania , Luxembourg , Malta , the Netherlands , Norway , Romania , Slovakia , Slovenia , Sweden and Switzerland
About ERP
The European Recycling Platform (ERP) was set up in December 2002 by Braun, Electrolux, HP and Sony in response to the introduction of the European Union’s Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) Directive. ERP’s mission is to ensure cost-effective implementation of the directive, for the benefit of the participating companies and their customers. This is achieved through innovative waste-management strategies and by encouraging national implementation of the directive according to a set of core principles, which are fundamental to the protection of consumers and business, as well as the environment.
ERP is the first WEEE compliance scheme to launch operations in multiple European countries and thus the first scheme to pass on the advantages of multinational recycling operations to the consumer. ERP has proved to be the most competitive solution for companies in the countries where it has started to operate.
ERP is already operational in eight countries – inAustria , France , Germany , Ireland , Poland , Portugal , Spain , and the UK Italy
