Producer responsibility on other products
There are six different producer responsibilities in the EU that the respective member states are obliged to implement - and a new one on textiles has just been approved and expected to come into force during 2027.
Electronics and batteries
The producer responsibility for electronics and batteries imposes manufacturers and importers with responsibilities for their electrical products from design and production to collection and environmental treatment when the products are no longer usable.
VANA can handle the producer responsibility for electronics and batteries on behalf of our member companies based on a collective agreement with RECIPO, the leading producer responsibility organisation (PRO) in the Nordics.

Textiles
The EU has adopted an agreement on changes to the waste framework directive, which introduces producer responsibility for textiles.
This means that manufacturers and brands selling textiles in the EU must cover the costs associated with the collection, sorting, and recycling of textile waste from their products. As a rule, this applies to all companies that produce, import, or distribute textile, textile-related, or footwear products - except for social enterprises that deliver already used products deemed suitable for reuse.
The agreement is expected to be published in November 2025, after which EU member states will have 20 months to update their national legislation and 30 months to implement a producer responsibility system.

VANA helps you manage your producer responsibility
VANA handles the producer responsibilities for packaging and single-use plastic products, as well as electronics and batteries in collaboration with RECIPO, which is a leader in their field in the Nordic countries.
At VANA, we are also working to be able to take on the remaining producer responsibilities as well as the upcoming producer responsibility for textiles for our members - either directly or through cooperation agreements with other leading producer responsibility organisations (PRO).
