Collecting and recycling

Norlux follows the WEEE directive and ensures correct labeling of our products. We sort our own waste and accept EE waste. We are a member of RENAS.

Most countries have regulations for proper collection and environmentally sound treatment of electrical and electronic wasted equipment, WEEE. The regulations states obligations regarding the collection and recycling as well as the financing of the scheme. This applies to such waste from household users (in some countries defined as consumer products) which may end up in municipal waste systems – and this category waste also from other types of users, such as i. e. businesses.

In accordance with local legislation Norlux will accept and temporarily store products Norlux has brought on to the market in Norway.  This category of products is recognized by a duly placed dustbin logo on the product.

Norlux meets all obligations under the WEEE Directive and equivalent for non-EU countries, as well as its implementation in accordance with the member states’ national legislation. In Norway this is defined in the regulations relating to the recycling of waste, 2004-06-01, no. 930, as amended.
