ASEKOL SK, a producer responsibility organization, has been authorized for the ´packaging and non-packaging products´ specified stream and so, from 2020, it will offer complex extended producer responsibility to producers and it will become a comprehensive partner for separate waste collection for towns and municipalities.

As an initiative of ECOBAT, a European association of producer responsibility organizations for batteries and accumulators, the second week of September is now celebrated as the European Battery Recycling Week. Its aim is to raise awareness of the need to sort and recycle used batteries. In a short period of time Slovakia has improved greatly as far as battery sorting is concerned. As many as 191 tonnes of portable used batteries were collected in 2018, while more than 600 tonnes have been collected and recycled through ASEKOL SK since 2015.

As a producer responsibility organization for electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and batteries and accumulators (BA), ASEKOL SK collected and helped recycle more than 6.8 million kilograms of waste EEE and over 190,000 kilograms of used portable BAs in 2018. ASEKOL SK thus met the collection and recycling goals determined by the legislation applicable to EEE and BA producers and importers.
