In EU countries, the principle behind directives for collection, recovery, and reuse has been EPR, making producers responsible for the take-back of e-waste.

Apple and Hewlett-Packard provide some form of payment for the value of the taken-back item. Other companies, Hitachi, Phillips, and Funai, do not now have take-backs [23].
