EPR Reporting

For manufacturers, importers and distributors facing evolving regulations around electronic-waste and product-lifecycle responsibility, the “Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)” framework presents both obligations and opportunity. At Desco Electronic Recyclers, our EPR Reporting service is built to help you navigate this regulatory landscape efficiently, meet your compliance targets and support sustainable product-end-of-life outcomes.

Desco Why EPR Reporting Is Critical

1

Regulatory obligation meets producer accountability

Under South African EPR regulations, producers of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), lighting, batteries and packaging are responsible for the full lifecycle of products, including proper disposal or reuse after consumer use.

2

Avoid risk, demonstrate governance

Failure to comply can lead to regulatory penalties, reputational damage and missed sustainability claims. Clear, auditable reporting strengthens your governance and brand credibility.

3

Target-tracking and data transparency

Monitoring volumes of e-waste collected, recycled or disposed, and showing traceability from producer to recycler, is key to achieving EPR targets and aligning with circular-economy goals.

4

Sustainability & business advantage

Effective EPR reporting supports your environmental, social and governance (ESG) credentials, making your company more attractive to stakeholders and aligning with global circular-economy trends.
