Who needs to register with Stiftung ear?
And why is a professional service provider essential?
In Germany, the Stiftung ear ensures that manufacturers meet their obligations and guarantees that waste electrical equipment and used batteries are properly taken back and recycled. As a company placing electrical equipment or batteries on the market, you are subject to these legal obligations.
Legal obligation
Selling electrical and electronic equipment in Germany makes registration with the Stiftung ear mandatory.
Authorized representative requirement
Companies without a subsidiary in Germany are legally required to appoint an authorized representative.
Insolvency guarantee required
To register in Germany, companies must have a financial guarantee covering waste disposal costs.
Important: If you sell electrical equipment with built-in batteries (e.g., smartphones, laptops, e-bikes), you must complete both registrations with Stiftung ear—one for the electrical equipment and one for the battery!
Why do you need a service provider?
Approved authorized representative: As a foreign company without a registered office in Germany, you must appoint an authorized representative approved by the Stiftung ear who will fulfill all obligations on your behalf.
Insolvency guarantee: The Stiftung ear requires an insolvency guarantee to cover disposal costs. This can only be provided by specialized service providers like us.
Join a take-back system: You are required to take back waste electrical equipment and used batteries placed on the market. We ensure your collection requests are handled on time and in full compliance.
Ongoing compliance: After you receive your number, regular reporting and compliance with legal requirements are necessary. We take care of this for you.
Time savings: Understanding the ElektroG and BattDG laws in detail takes valuable resources you need for your core business.
