The fee is already paid by the manufacturers (or importers if imported from outside of EU). That fee directly funds the system to collect and process the old devices, so it doesn't dangerously go through the state.
As of right now I think the consumers share most of the burden of funding the recycling program...or it seems that way with the exorbitant fees.
