EPR Compliance: sell across Europe with no barriers

If you produce, distribute, or sell packaging, electrical and electronic equipment or other goods subject to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), you must register in each country where you operate.

Being compliant means selling with confidence, avoiding penalties, restrictions, or suspensions — even on platforms like Amazon and Zalando.

What is EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility)

EPR is the principle that whoever first places a product on the European market is also responsible for its end-of-life management.

This includes administrative, reporting and financial duties, which vary by country and apply to an increasing range of products: EEE, batteries, packaging, textiles, furniture.

Your main obligations

  • Registration in national registers or with relevant consortia
  • Obtaining an EPR registration number per product category
  • Periodic declarations of placed-on-market volumes
  • Payment of required eco-contributions
  • Local-compliant environmental labelling

Amazon, Germany and France: strict enforcement

Since 2022, marketplaces and authorities have intensified controls. In countries like Germany and France, non-compliance may lead to:

  • Product delisting or sale suspension
  • Direct charging of eco-contributions
  • Reports to local authorities
