You can fulfill your recycling obligations under paragraph 1 by subscribing.
It is stated that. Here, you can think of the target workplace as a system implemented by almost all companies that sell electronic products by referring to the workplaces in the table below.
target workplace
A business place that sells electrical and electronic products subject to the collection obligation, and a business place with sales of KRW 5 billion or more in the year preceding the fulfillment of the duty
Among the workplaces that manufacture or import electrical and electronic products subject to collection, handover, and recycling obligations
– Sales of electrical and electronic products in the year before the fulfillment of obligations: over KRW 1 billion
– Import amount of electrical and electronic products in the year before the fulfillment of obligation: 300 million won or more
In this way, most major home appliance manufacturers and major major home appliance retailers have a legal obligation to collect waste home appliances and product packaging materials free of charge. And it is the “Korea Electronics Resource Circulation Mutual Aid Association” that performs the work of these companies instead. For this reason, these associations are implementing a free home appliance collection service on behalf of several companies.
