The European Recycling Platform (ERP)

The European Recycling Platform (ERP) was founded in 2002 as the first pan-European organisation to implement the European Union’s regulations on the recycling of electrical and electronic waste (WEEE Directive). Now part of the Landbell Group, ERP manages a consolidated network and has developed vast international expertise, expanding its recycling services to include batteries as well as packaging. Created by producers for producers, over 32,712 customers trust ERP to manage their compliance.

European Recycling Platform Ireland DAC was established in 2005 because of the success and expansion of ERP across Europe. ERP is Ireland’s only pan-European compliance scheme, providing WEEE and Waste Battery compliance and a B2B service to members.

Operating 32 producer responsibility organisations for waste electrical and electronic equipment, batteries and packaging across 14 countries, The European Recycling Platform has contributed to the circular economy for over 20 years and is well placed to support Repairmystuff.ie in this initiative.

White Goods Association Information

The White Goods Association (WGA) is the voice of the white goods industry in Ireland. It is established as a trade association within IBEC, representing companies who manufacture, supply or distribute white goods in Ireland. The WGA provides guidance, commentary and advice on issues including legal and regulatory developments of relevance to the white goods industry.

The WGA is currently chaired by Richard Broderick and the vice-chair is Ian Collins. Alec McAllister of Technology Ireland, Ibec provides executive support for the organisation. Meetings are held with member companies on a bi-monthly basis or more frequently if required. Topics for discussion include general industry updates and existing and forthcoming legislation. The WGA also issues monthly industry sales figures, which are complied for the WGA by Ibec in compliance with competition law.

It is also an important partner of WEEE Ireland helping to ensure that existing regulations are met by producers and retailers alike. The WGA also plays a key role as a bi-directional information conduit between its members and WEEE Ireland, helping to form practical and effective future policy and practices.

WEEE Ireland

Waste, Electrical and Electronic Equipment

WEEE Ireland is a not for profit organisation, founded by Producers of electrical and electronic appliances to help them comply with their Extended Producer Responsibilities (EPR),  imposed by the EU Battery Directive 2006/66/EC and WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU and earlier legislation.  WEEE Ireland manages the collective compliance and collection of household e-waste, lighting, solar PV equipment and batteries from authorised collection points for recycling and recovery, on behalf of over 1,100 producer members.

WEEE Ireland in conjunction with the White Goods Association and industry have nominated authorised repairers as agents for certain white good products. We hope that this way the consumer will know who to contact in an emergency for the repair of certain white goods items.

This website is an initiative of Monaghan County Council, other local authorities, the Local Authority Waste Prevention Network (LAPN), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the repair industry.
