In October 2020, take-e-way reported that manufacturers are required to publish the status of compliance with the quantitative targets according to Section 10 (3) and Section 22 (1) of the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG) annually.
In order to fulfil these information duties as a take-e-way customer, you only need to include the note “Information obligations pursuant to Section 18 (2) of the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act.” in your publishing information of your website and link it to the following take-e-way page:
https://www.take-e-way.com/services/reporting-and-information-obligations-for-manufacturers/
If you are already making use of this solution, there is no need for any further action on your part.
If you link directly from your website to the government website, please read on:
As reported by the IT law firm “IT-Recht-Kanzlei”, an important link has changed owing to a restructuring of the government website. According to the law firm, the discontinued functionality of the previously valid link to the take-back statistics may call for an adjustment to be made to your publishing information.
In this case, we recommend that you link to the take-e-way page as described above, which we update for you on a regular basis.
Should you have any questions, the consultancy team at take-e-way will be pleased to assist you. Please call +49/40/750687-0 or send an e-mail to beratung@take-e-way.de.
