The best WEEE compliance software in 2026

WEEE compliance software helps producers of electrical and electronic equipment handle their Extended Producer Responsibility duties, from registering as a producer to reporting what they sell. It is a separate job from packaging, with its own registers and its own rules.

This guide ranks the options worth considering in 2026 and shows which kind of producer each one fits. Repax is our overall pick, though several of the others are the better choice in specific situations.

Why WEEE compliance is its own job

WEEE stands for waste electrical and electronic equipment: anything with a plug, a battery or a cable, from laptops to power tools to smart speakers. If your company makes or imports this kind of product and sells it in a market, you are usually a producer under that market's WEEE rules, and you carry duties for the kit once it is thrown away.

Those duties look different from packaging in three ways.

1. You register as an electronics producer. Most countries run a dedicated WEEE register, separate from the packaging one. In the UK you register through an approved scheme; in Germany you register your electricals with stiftung ear.

2. You classify your products into EEE categories. WEEE law sorts equipment into set categories (for example large appliances, small appliances, IT and screens), and your reporting has to use them.

3. You report what you place on the market and help fund its end of life. You declare the weight of electricals you sell, and you pay toward collecting and recycling the equivalent once it becomes waste.

None of that happens automatically because you already handle packaging. WEEE is a parallel job, and the software or scheme you pick has to be built for it.

When you need software and when you need a scheme

There are two very different things sold under the label WEEE compliance, and mixing them up is the most common mistake we see.

WEEE compliance software is a tool you run yourself. It helps you classify your products, work out your obligations, produce the registrations and tonnage reports each market wants, and keep the data in one place. You stay in control, and you file. Repax, Sphera, Source Intelligence, EPR Insights, ecosistant and ForSURE all sit here.

A WEEE compliance scheme (also called a producer compliance scheme) is a service you hand the job to. An approved scheme registers you with the regulator, takes on the legal obligation on your behalf, and finances a share of the collection and treatment of waste electricals. In the UK, if you place more than five tonnes of electricals on the market in a year, you are a large producer and the law expects you to be in an approved scheme. Valpak is the best-known one.

Most producers need software. Some, especially larger UK producers, need a scheme as well, and a few need both: software to keep the data straight across markets, and a scheme to carry the UK legal obligation. Knowing which side you are on tells you which tools on this list to look at first.

How we ranked the WEEE tools

We build EPR software ourselves, so we know this category from the inside. We ranked on the things that actually decide whether a WEEE tool works for you, not on marketing.

• Real WEEE coverage. Does it genuinely handle electricals, not just packaging with WEEE added to the brochure? We checked each tool's live site and left out packaging-only platforms.

• Markets. Which countries it can register and report in, since electronics producers rarely sell in only one.

• Multi-stream fit. Whether it covers batteries and packaging too, because most electricals carry all three.

• How you run it. Self-serve software you file yourself, or a done-for-you scheme.

• Pricing you can see. Whether there is a public price, or you have to book a demo to find out.

• Who it is built for. The size and type of producer it fits.

One note on what we left out. Assent, Recyda, Lizenzero and PCX Solutions are all capable on packaging EPR, but they do not offer WEEE, so they are not on this list. A WEEE tool has to actually cover electricals to earn a place.

The best WEEE compliance software ranked

Here is the ranked list, with who each tool genuinely wins for.

1. Repax

Repax is a product-data platform. You describe each product once, and it works out your obligations and produces the reports across every stream and market you sell in, WEEE included.

For electronics that matters, because a single device is really several obligations at once: the electrical item under WEEE, its battery, and its packaging. Repax models that as one connected record, so the WEEE report and the battery and packaging reports all come from the same data instead of three separate tools. It is also ours, so we lead with it, though we are straight about where each rival wins.

The live products are Core, the product-data and reporting engine, and Declare, which produces the EU Declaration of Conformity. A third product, Comply, is on the way.

• Best for: producers who handle electricals alongside batteries and packaging and want one workflow they control.

• Strengths: one product record feeds every stream and market; self-serve; genuinely multi-stream; public pricing with a free tier.

• Markets and streams: global, 30+ EPR categories; packaging, batteries, electronics (WEEE) and textiles.

• Pricing: public. Core and Declare each start free at €0/mo, with paid plans from €29/mo and custom enterprise pricing for high volume (as of July 2026).

• Watch-out: Repax is software, not an approved UK compliance scheme. It keeps your WEEE data and reporting in order; for the UK large-producer legal obligation you still join a scheme (see Valpak below).

2. Sphera

Sphera is the heavyweight, an enterprise platform whose EC4P recycling-compliance product covers WEEE, batteries and packaging across more than 360 compliance schemes worldwide.

They build it for large multinationals with obligations in dozens of countries at once, and usually sell it alongside their consulting. That breadth is real, and few rivals match them for sheer jurisdiction count.

• Best for: large multinationals with WEEE duties spread across many countries.

• Strengths: the widest jurisdiction coverage on the market (360+ schemes); WEEE, batteries and packaging together; enterprise-grade.

• Markets and streams: global; WEEE, batteries, packaging.

• Pricing: sales-led, no public price (you request a demo).

• Watch-out: heavier and pricier than a mid-market producer needs, and there is no public price to sanity-check against.

3. Source Intelligence

Source Intelligence is a supply-chain compliance platform with a strong EPR module that covers electronic waste, packaging and batteries.

Their natural fit is a business that already thinks about compliance at the supply-chain and component level (electronics makers often do) and wants EPR handled in the same place. Their coverage is genuinely global rather than tied to one region.

• Best for: global electronics makers who want EPR sitting next to their wider supply-chain compliance.

• Strengths: EPR plus supply-chain and sourcing data in one platform; global; configurable.

• Markets and streams: global, multi-jurisdiction; WEEE, packaging, batteries.

• Pricing: demo-only, no public price.

• Watch-out: Source Intelligence is a broad enterprise suite, so a producer who only needs EPR may be paying for more than they use.

4. Valpak

Valpak is the one to look at when what you actually need is an approved WEEE scheme, not software you run yourself.

Part of Reconomy, Valpak have run a UK WEEE compliance scheme since 2007, and in 2023 they took over Ecosurety's UK WEEE and batteries schemes too. They register you with the regulator, submit your data, take on the legal obligation for large producers, and fund the collection and treatment of waste electricals above the threshold.

• Best for: UK producers over the five-tonne WEEE threshold who need an approved scheme to carry the legal obligation.

• Strengths: established, approved UK WEEE scheme; handles packaging and batteries too; takes the legal duty off your plate.

• Markets and streams: UK-focused (with global data reach); packaging, WEEE, batteries.

• Pricing: sales-led, no public price.

• Watch-out: Valpak is a managed scheme, not self-serve software, and UK-centred, so a producer selling across the EU still needs something for the other markets.

5. EPR Insights

EPR Insights is the SMB-friendly pick, a tool that reports packaging, WEEE and batteries through a single workflow instead of three separate systems.

They lean toward online sellers, with a Shopify app and coverage listed across 39 countries (about 14 of them active today). They are one of the few WEEE tools with a price you can see before you talk to anyone.

• Best for: small and mid-size online sellers who want WEEE handled cheaply and without a sales call.

• Strengths: multi-stream in one workflow; public pricing; e-commerce and Shopify integration.

• Markets and streams: EU, 39 countries listed (about 14 active); packaging, WEEE, batteries.

• Pricing: public, from about $15/mo, with a 7-day free trial.

• Watch-out: coverage is strongest in their active markets, so check your specific countries are live before committing.

6. ecosistant

ecosistant pairs software with consultancy and prices per country, which makes it easy for a European SME to switch on only the markets it sells in.

They cover packaging, WEEE and batteries plus textiles and furniture across up to 30 European countries, and their WEEE support comes with guidance for sellers of electronics and batteries. The per-country model keeps the entry cost low.

• Best for: European SMEs that want to add WEEE country by country without a big platform commitment.

• Strengths: per-country pricing; wide stream coverage including WEEE, batteries and textiles; consultant support alongside the software.

• Markets and streams: up to 30 European countries; packaging, WEEE, batteries, textiles, furniture.

• Pricing: public, from €24.90 per country.

• Watch-out: the consultant-plus-software model is lighter-touch than a full enterprise platform, which suits smaller producers more than complex ones.

7. ForSURE

ForSURE is the cheapest way in, a lightweight EU tool that handles WEEE, batteries, packaging and textiles and offers a free plan.

They aim it at smaller sellers who want to test the water without a budget conversation. The free plan makes it a sensible first step before scaling up to something heavier.

• Best for: small EU sellers who want to start with WEEE reporting for free.

• Strengths: free plan; covers WEEE, batteries, packaging and textiles; simple to start.

• Markets and streams: EU; WEEE, batteries, packaging, textiles.

• Pricing: free plan available, with paid tiers (paid prices not published).

• Watch-out: ForSURE is built for simpler needs, so larger producers with many markets will likely outgrow it.

Which WEEE tool fits your situation

Match the tool to your situation rather than the brochure.

• You sell electricals across several streams and markets and want one workflow you control. Repax. One product record covers the device, its battery and its packaging.

• You are a large UK producer over the five-tonne threshold. You need an approved scheme, so start with Valpak, and add software if you also sell outside the UK.

• You are a large multinational. Sphera for the widest jurisdiction coverage, or Source Intelligence if you want EPR next to your supply-chain compliance.

• You are a small or mid-size online seller. EPR Insights for a public price and Shopify integration, or ecosistant if you would rather pay per country.

• You want to start for free. ForSURE, or Repax's free tier.

The seven tools compared side by side

Here is the whole list in one view.

WEEE compliance software questions answered

Short, plain answers to the questions producers ask most about WEEE compliance software.

What is the best WEEE compliance software?

Repax is our overall pick for producers who handle electricals alongside batteries and packaging, because one product record feeds every stream and market and the pricing is public. Sphera and Source Intelligence suit large multinationals, and Valpak is the pick when you need an approved UK scheme.

What is WEEE compliance?

WEEE compliance means meeting your legal duties for the electrical and electronic equipment you place on a market. That means registering as a producer, classifying your products into the set EEE categories, reporting the weight you sell, and helping fund the collection and recycling of waste electricals.

Is there free WEEE compliance software?

Yes. ForSURE offers a free plan, and Repax has a free tier at €0/mo. Both let you start reporting without a budget conversation, though larger producers usually move to a paid plan as their volumes grow.

What is the difference between WEEE software and a WEEE compliance scheme?

Software is a tool you run yourself to classify products, produce reports and keep the data. A compliance scheme is a service you hand the job to, and an approved scheme takes on the legal obligation and funds collection and treatment. In the UK, large producers are expected to be in a scheme.

Do I need WEEE software if I already have packaging EPR software?

Often yes, unless your tool genuinely covers electronics. WEEE has its own registers and product categories, so a packaging-only platform does not cover it. A multi-stream tool like Repax handles both from the same data.

Which WEEE tool is best for a small business?

For a small online seller, EPR Insights gives you a public price and Shopify integration, ecosistant lets you pay per country, and ForSURE has a free plan. Repax also has a free tier if you want a multi-stream workflow from the start.

Which WEEE tool is best for a large UK producer?

If you place more than five tonnes of electricals on the UK market a year, you are a large producer and need an approved compliance scheme. Valpak is the established option. Pair it with multi-stream software if you also sell outside the UK.

How much does WEEE compliance software cost?

It ranges from free (ForSURE's free plan and Repax's free tier) to public paid plans (EPR Insights from about $15/mo, ecosistant from €24.90 per country, Repax from €29/mo) to sales-led enterprise pricing (Sphera, Source Intelligence and Valpak) where you request a quote, as of July 2026.
