What Recipo does

Recipo is a Stockholm-headquartered Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) founded in 2007 that provides regulatory compliance, automated reporting, and electronic-waste collection services for producers of electronics, batteries, and packaging operating in the Nordic region. The company is an approved PRO in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark and works through collaborative partners in Finland to deliver full Nordic coverage. Recipo manages all communication and reporting with Nordic Environmental Protection Agencies on behalf of its connected customers, eliminating the administrative burden of multi-jurisdictional compliance for producers, importers, distributors, and retailers.

The platform is anchored by three proprietary products: AutoComply, an AI-marketed web-based tool that automates producer responsibility reporting across Nordic countries with a single click; Secure Collect, a network of locked in-store collection boxes for electronics containing sensitive memory media, deployed in partnership with major retailers; and GreenTrack, a smart booking and tracking system that coordinates transport of electrical waste and batteries from collection points to certified pre-treatment facilities. Distribution combines enterprise field sales with a self-service reporting portal, and the physical Secure Collect network provides a consumer-facing drop-off infrastructure. The company was acquired by Norwegian recycling operator Revac AS in February 2026.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining an annual subscription fee, optional Authorized Representative (AR) fees for foreign producers requiring Nordic representation, and usage-based per-unit fees tied to sales reported through the reporting portal. Discounts of approximately 10% are offered for products with lower chemical content under the REACH Regulation. Customers include Nordic electronics retailers Power, Komplett Group, Elgiganten, and Elkjøp, alongside a broader base of electronics, battery, and packaging producers across the region.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Wecycle: Dutch PRO for electronics and energy-saving lamps with a strong consumer collection network. Comparable to Recipo's combined PRO + collection approach (similar to Secure Collect).
• take-e-back: German WEEE compliance service provider offering producer registration, take-back, and reporting across multiple EU countries. Comparable to Recipo in cross-border compliance services and a potential blueprint or competitor for Recipo's expansion beyond the Nordics.
• Stichting OPEN: Dutch PRO for large household appliances and electrical equipment. Operates at much larger scale in the Netherlands and is a model for consolidated, multi-stream PRO operations that Recipo may emulate across the Nordics.

Regional players

• Remedia: Italian PRO consortium for WEEE and batteries. Operates a similar producer-funded compliance model in a different European geography, useful as a structural benchmark for Recipo's business model.
• ERP Finland (Suomen Pakkaustuottajat): Finnish PRO covering electronics, batteries, and packaging compliance. Operates in the same Nordic geography that Recipo reaches only via partner arrangements, making it a regional peer rather than direct head-to-head competitor.

Direct peers

• El-Kretsen: Sweden's largest approved Producer Responsibility Organization for electronics. Directly competes with Recipo in the Swedish market for electronics and battery compliance services, serving many of the same producer and retailer customer segments.
• Norsirk: Norwegian Producer Responsibility Organization handling electronics, batteries, and similar waste streams. Competes head-to-head with Recipo in the Norwegian PRO market with comparable offerings for registration, reporting, and collection.
• Elretur: Denmark's national PRO for electronics and batteries. Recipo's direct competitor in the Danish market, providing analogous producer registration, reporting, and take-back services to producers and retailers.

Emerging players

• Elettroriciclo: Emerging European e-waste recycling and take-back operator. Comparable in its focus on electronics recycling logistics and chain-of-custody tracking, though smaller and more geographically limited than Recipo.

Others

• Revac AS: Norwegian recycling company and Recipo's parent after the Feb 2026 acquisition. Provides reverse logistics, electronics recycling, and circular-economy services in Norway and Sweden; comparable operations but now part of the same corporate group.
