Temu Teams With Recyclia on Seller Recycling Duties in Spain

Temu has signed an agreement with Recyclia, which administers the Ecoasimelec and Ecopilas collective extended producer responsibility schemes in Spain. The deal is meant to help marketplace sellers meet environmental obligations for electrical and electronic equipment waste and for batteries.

Under the partnership, Temu sellers can handle their registration, reporting and environmental management fee payments in line with Spanish and European rules. Consumers will be able to reach official collection points to recycle electronics and batteries bought on Temu.

"This partnership represents an important milestone in the way marketplaces can support their sellers in complying with their regulatory obligations," the Recyclia team said. It added that the deal reinforces the integration of e-commerce into the collection and recycling systems already in place in Spain.

A Temu spokesperson said the collaboration lets sellers comply more easily, and that the company gives sellers practical guidance and resources while strengthening ties with local stakeholders across Europe.

Background

Temu entered the Spanish market in 2023 and opened its marketplace to European sellers in 2024. In 2025 it was named "Best E-Commerce of the Year" at the eAwards and won the Gold Award in the "Marketplace Revelation" category at the Marketplaces Awards.

The company says it has partnerships with more than 60 authorized extended producer responsibility schemes in Europe, covering categories such as packaging, batteries and waste electrical and electronic equipment.

Recyclia brings together the Ecofimática, Ecoasimelec, Ecopilas and Recyclia Envases schemes. Since 2001 it has managed more than 689,000 tonnes of electrical and electronic waste and, since it began operating, more than 93,600 tonnes of batteries.
