Portable Batteries – Sweden
Couldn't load pickup availability
Anyone placing portable batteries on the Swedish market must register before the first sale. Manufacturers without a branch in Sweden need an authorised representative on site.
The obligation also applies if you do not sell batteries separately but ship devices with built-in or enclosed batteries.
Scope of services
- Appointment of an authorised representative established in Sweden
- Registration as a producer of portable batteries
- Membership of the Swedish producer responsibility organisation (PRO)
- Monthly quantity reports for the batteries placed on the Swedish market
- Ongoing communication with the authority and the recycling system
The contracting party and invoicing entity is ECOPV-EU GmbH, based in Eschborn. The role of authorised representative in Sweden is performed by our group company Ecopv-sweden AB, based in Åkersberga near Stockholm. Both companies belong to the ECOPV group; there is no third party in the chain.

Why does Sweden cost more than other countries?
The price includes membership of the Swedish producer responsibility organisation (PRO). Those fees are set by the PRO itself, and for batteries in Sweden they are considerably above the European average – something neither you nor we can influence.
Our own fee does not differ substantially from the other countries in this overview. The price difference is overwhelmingly a pass-through of third-party costs, not a mark-up on our service. We deliberately neither strip it out nor hide it in additional charges – you see the full amount up front.
If you only supply batteries as accessories, we are happy to check with you in advance whether the registration obligation applies in your case at all.
Who is this package for?
