To comply with the requirements of Peru’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), Traperos de Emaus and the Reverse Logistics Group have entered into a partnership.

Daniel Ott, Managing Director Latin America at the Reverse Logistic Group, describes how the two organizations came together to form a long-standing, trust-based collaboration. This partnership combines expertise in take-back logistics and local waste management, resulting in reliable collection of electronic waste and a stable income for informal collectors.
