You need to register your company before you can submit reports. You only need to register your company once; in the following years, you will be able to complete or change your data at any time. Through registration, we know what company the report concerns and who the contact person is. The list of registered producers of EEE is published online.

Please keep your details up to date, for example in the event of a change of address or contact person!

1. Contact details.
2. In the case of an authorised representative, also the contact details of the producer being represented;
3. The company registration number of the producer of EEE;
4. The category to which the EEE belongs, as referred to in Article 3.4.4.2;
5. The type of EEE: household or professional equipment;
6. Information about how the producer complies with its responsibilities, either individually or through a collective scheme, including information about financial security;
7. The sales techniques used, e.g. distance selling;
8. A statement that the information provided is accurate.

You should first register your own company. Once completed, you can add another company.

European Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment has been transposed into regional legislation by the three regions. This Directive specified new reporting requirements for (waste) electrical and electronic equipment, including (waste) photovoltaic solar panels. In this way, we can form a picture of all the EEE and WEEE in circulation on our market. Your reports help us to build a picture of all the EEE and WEEE in circulation on our market and to comply with our reporting obligations to Europe.

Anyone who collects, trades, brokers, exports, processes, or prepares for re-use any waste EEE is obliged to submit reports on this. This obligation also applies to waste streams collected and processed outside the Recupel system, the PV-Cycle system, or a producer with an individual waste prevention and management plan. Distributors of EEE who do not cooperate with a Recupel or PV-Cycle contractor are also obliged to submit reports on this.

In addition, each producer of EEE, including importers, is obliged to submit reports on the quantities of EEE that have been put on the market and waste EEE received under the take-back obligation.

If you work with Recupel, PV-Cycle, or a producer with an individual waste prevention and management plan, submit reports directly to them. For example, anything that you already report in the Recupel REP tool does not need to be reported again via BeWeee.

In that case, you must submit reports for each of these roles (producer of EEE, distributor of EEE, registered collector, trader or broker of waste, re-use centre, processor, or exporter).

In that case, you must continue to submit reports to them and not via BeWeee. If you also dispose of a part of the EEE and/or WEEE via other channels, you are obliged to submit reports about this in BeWeee.

Yes, if you dispose of EEE to a Recupel contractor, PV-Cycle, or a producer with an individual waste prevention and management plan but do not submit reports to them, you must submit reports on these quantities of waste EEE via BeWeee. To put it simply, you must submit reports on everything, but you do not have to report things twice (for example, both via the Recupel REP tool and via BeWeee).

Any WEEE that you, as a distributor of EEE, have accepted from your customers. You must submit reports on the quantities and destinations for each category of EEE that you have collected.

All of the EEE that you, as a producer of EEE, have put on the Belgian market for the first time. You are the first with a Belgian VAT number who buys the EEE or you are a foreign company and sell to private users through distance selling. With regard to the collectors and processors that you have a contract with, you must submit reports on the quantities of each category of WEEE that has been taken off the market, the destinations for this WEEE and what the processing results are.

If a company is established abroad and sells directly to users (private households or businesses) through distance selling, the foreign company is the producer or importer of EEE. In this case, the producer is obliged to appoint an authorised representative in Belgium. This authorised representative takes over the obligations of the producer, which means they are obliged to submit reports. You must tick that you are an authorised representative and which producer it concerns. The authorisation must be uploaded as an attachment.

All WEEE that you, as a registered collector, trader, or broker of WEEE, have collected, traded, or brokered on Belgian territory and the destinations of this WEEE.

All waste EEE collected in Belgium that you export outside Belgium. As an exporter, you are also responsible for the achievement of the objectives by the foreign processor. You must request the processing results from the foreign processor and also complete the report as a processor.

All waste EEE that you, as a processor, have received from Belgium, the processing results of what you have processed yourself, and the destinations of what you have not processed yourself.

Yes, that is possible. You have to make clear contractual agreements about who will submit the report. You can then upload an attachment to BeWeee stating for which data you submit reports and for which companies, which means we avoid double counting. Legally, your customers remain responsible for submitting the reports.

All quantities of WEEE that you as a re-use centre have collected in Belgium to prepare for re-use, the quantities that were eventually prepared for re-use, and the quantities that were finally sent elsewhere for further processing.

You have been written to because you have been registered or approved as a collector, trader, or broker of waste with one or more Regions. If this is not the case, you will have to contact the Region in question to change this.

Yes, you must submit reports on all WEEE that you collected in Belgium, regardless of whether you are located in another Region or country.

No, you should only submit reports via BeWeee on the quantities that you have collected in Belgium. You will have to submit reports on the quantities collected abroad in the national register of the relevant EU Member State.

Yes, you have to submit reports on all WEEE that you have collected in Belgium, regardless of your place of establishment.

Yes, you are then a producer of EEE and must submit reports on these quantities.

As a producer of EEE, you should deduct these quantities from the quantities that you have put on the market. The exported quantities of EEE are no longer on the Belgian market. Please note that you must submit reports on these quantities of EEE in the tool of the respective Member State where they have been put on the market. As a notifier, you must also submit reports on the quantities that you export, and you are responsible for the achievement of the objectives by the foreign processor. You must request the processing results from this processor and also complete the report as a processor.
