EPR

What is Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) ?

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy that makes the party who first places a product subject to EPR requirements in the country (also known as “Producer” for EPR) responsible for the entire life cycle of the products that they introduce on the market, from their design until the end of life (including waste collection and take-back).

Am I affected as a seller?

You are considered a Producer if you do one of the following activities:

  • manufacture a product subject to EPR requirements in the country, and/or

  • import a product subject to EPR requirements into the country, and/or

  • sell a product subject to EPR requirements in the country and you are not established in that country

Frequently Asked Questions

What EPR categories do I need to sign up to?

This depends on the countries you sell to and the type of products you sell in those countries.

Our customer success team is happy to review your business activity and product catalogue to see which EPR categories are relevant for you

How do I know if I need to register for WEEE Compliance in Germany?

You need to register for WEEE in Germany if you manufacture, import, or sell electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) in the country. This includes any business activity where EEE products are sold to German consumers, regardless of where your business is based. Our team of experts are here to help you understand whether you need to comply with WEEE.

I sell second-hand electric devices, do I still have obligations with WEEE?

Your obligations under WEEE compliance in Germany depend on the origin of the second-hand electric devices. If you purchase the devices from outside Germany and sell them within Germany, these products are considered to be placed on the German market for the first time, and you must comply with WEEE regulations. However, if the devices are sourced from within Germany and are resold in Germany, they are regarded as re-entering the market. In this case, you would not have new WEEE obligations for these products.
