About eWasa

eWASA represents some of the largest producers of the household electrical & electronic, and packaging industry who have a Producer responsibility under the EPR regulations of 2020 to organise and finance their products’ environmental management at their end of life. eWASA is registered with the DFFE (SAWIC) as a PRO in all three sectors, viz: EEE, Lighting and Paper & Packaging under the DFFE S18 Extended Producer Responsibility Registry. Serving as a one-stop-shop for all your PRO needs to reduce the complexity of having to join multiple PROs and pay separate membership and EPR fees to these PROs.
