Environmental Compliance

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a waste and pollution management concept that encourages companies to design more sustainable and recyclable products and adopt environmentally friendly manufacturing processes. To meet EPR standards, companies must demonstrate their commitment to achieving a circular economy model.

• EPR regulations apply in Germany, France, Austria, and Spain.
• Registration of EPR numbers for specific product categories is necessary.
• Compliance and reporting requirements must be fulfilled across the EU.
• Appointing an authorised representative is essential to ensure adherence to these regulations.

Minimising the negative impact of waste batteries and accumulators has become a key goal for the EU. Sellers are required to register and report their batteries in all countries where such obligations apply. This requirement, with a few specific exceptions, applies to all batteries and accumulators, regardless of their chemical composition, size, or design.

• Effective registration and compliance procedures are essential.
• Accurate reporting of quantities is crucial for transparency and accountability.
• Designating an authorised representative is necessary to ensure adherence to these regulations.

The European Union is advancing legislation to eliminate single-use plastics (SUP) and promote recycling and reuse of packaging. The goal is to ensure that packaging used within the EU is safer and more sustainable. Sellers will be required to collect and report the types and volumes of single-use plastics they sell in each market and will consequently be responsible for paying the associated fees.

• SUP regulations apply in the UK, Germany, Austria, and Spain.
• Effective registration and compliance procedures are essential.
