Ecodesign needs enforcement. Check compliance at the border so reuse wins. ETIRA’s position: buff.ly/2VDAXIz

Customs check WEEE/EPR + Authorised Rep. Valid → release. Not valid → no entry/pay. Simple, fair, effective. buff.ly/2VDAXIz

“Who pays for waste?”
Rules-followers fund recycling. Some imports don’t. ETIRA: make every import pay its fair share. buff.ly/2VDAXIz

€2 fee = good start. It doesn’t cover ~€8 real recycling cost. ETIRA: support the levy, fund the environment fairly. buff.ly/2VDAXIz

ETIRA urges the EU to ensure all products sold in Europe meet the same high standards. Stronger rules will protect consumers, support remanufacturers & boost the circular economy.

Billions of parcels enter the EU without checks — including non-compliant printer cartridges that dodge chemical, safety & recycling rules. ETIRA calls for stronger EU marketplace rules.

📢 ETIRA has joined a coalition of 63 organisations urging the EU to close e-commerce loopholes enabling too many products sold via online marketplaces — including printer cartridges — to bypass EU rules. It’s time to hold platforms accountable.

ETIRA was born from WEEE reform in 2001.
Now we’re back: the Circular Economy Act is coming.
We call on the EU to back reuse, enforce EPR, and level the playing field.
♻️ Let’s get it right this time.

Public tenders are still excluding remanufactured cartridges — illegally.

ETIRA has challenged 25 across Europe. Most backed down.

We’re also exposing fraud: fake ecolabels, single-use swaps, shady bids.

ETIRA 1 – ETRIA 0
Ricoh tried to register “ETRIA.” EUIPO said no — too confusing.

We paused our fight. EDRIA kept going — and won.

Now Ricoh’s counter-opposition is suspended too. No appeal by Aug = game over.

ETIRA vs ETRIA: 1-0 – Etira
In 2023, Ricoh asked the EU’s brand registration authority, EUIPO, to register the brand “ETRIA” for its printer manufacturing joint venture with other OEMs. ETIRA opposed this registration, as did…

WEEE review shows we’re still losing materials and missing targets.
ETIRA says: it’s time to put reuse first — and stop non-compliant clones from wrecking the market.
