Officially confirmed: ECOPV-EU GmbH is now listed as a producer responsibility organization (PRO) in the official directory of the EAR Foundation. This recognition by the EAR Foundation confirms our expertise and offers our customers maximum security in fulfilling their legal take-back obligations.
What is an OfH?
The OfH is the central element of the modern German battery take-back system. It was introduced to efficiently and transparently consolidate responsibility for the collection and recycling of used batteries.
For manufacturers and distributors, cooperation with an approved OfH is now the standard way to:
- Safely meet the statutory take-back quota.
- Maintain their own registration with the EAR foundation on a permanent basis.
- Minimize administrative effort through a centralized reporting system.
