Act Before the Year Ends: The E-Waste Campaign Obligation May Apply to You!

If you manufacture, import, or sell electronic products under your own brand, you may have a critical environmental obligation according to Turkish legislation.

Many companies approach the end of the year unaware of this requirement. However, the AEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulation clearly defines this responsibility—and it’s a race against time.

What Does It Mean to Be an Electronic Producer?

Under the AEEE Regulation, the following are considered "electronic producers":

• Companies that manufacture electrical/electronic products under their own brand in Türkiye,
• Companies that manufacture abroad but sell in Türkiye under their own brand,
• Companies that import electronic products and introduce them to the market, regardless of brand.

These companies are held primarily responsible for ensuring that the resulting e-waste is collected and recycled in an environmentally safe manner.

What Are You Legally Required to Do?

According to the regulation, electronic producers must:

• Register in the Ministry of Environment’s EEE Information System and obtain a producer ID,
• Collect and recycle e-waste through licensed facilities when their products reach end-of-life,
• Most importantly: organize at least one consumer-facing e-waste take-back campaign per year and report the results.

Why Act Now?

The end of the year is fast approaching. Running an e-waste campaign isn’t just about printing posters or placing collection bins. It involves:

• Logistics and field operations,
• Reporting and documentation,
• Consumer incentives,
• Coordination with licensed recycling facilities,
• And most importantly: ensuring full compliance with legal requirements.

Trying to complete all these steps in the final quarter of the year can be both operationally challenging and legally risky.
