Discover our straightforward recycling solutions
Compliance is becoming an ever greater challenge for producers as the legislation tightens. ERP can assist you in complying with regulations on the recycling of electrical and electronic waste, batteries, and packaging.
Extended Producer Responsibility
What is extended producer responsibility?
Extended producer responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy that regulates a producer’s responsibility for a product throughout its life cycle. Regarding this policy, producers take the responsibility for financing collection, recycling, and end-of-life disposal of WEEE, batteries, accumulators, packaging, and other EPR product categories, to mitigate the environmental impacts of their products along the chain (from production to recycling stages).
Every company that first places a product subject to EPR requirements onto the market in the respective country is considered a producer.
This can happen in 3 ways, including the online channel:
Manufacturing of products
Importing products
Selling products not based in your home country

Fulfilling producer responsibility policies
Regulations about WEEE, batteries and packaging and the collection targets get more ambitious as circular economy legislation evolves.
ERP can support you across multiple countries
Changing policies means the rules can vary annually, making it difficult to confidently calculate what you must pay. If your company is expanding across multiple European territories, these challenges multiply.
ERP makes this easy for you and can add extra value along the way
Through ERP, a producer, small to large, may acquire legal compliance for WEEE, batteries, and packaging. On top of fulfilling legal compliance requirements, ERP also offers value-added services for its members and other producers.

Do you sell packaged goods to Germany?
The German Packaging Act, which entered into force in January 2019, obliges all manufacturers and retailers placing packaging on the German market to apply for a license through a packaging scheme.
The Act, which applies to mail order companies, eBay sellers, and operators of small online shops, encompasses all packaging materials and has no minimum threshold – as soon as you place packaging on the German market, then you must join a scheme.
