With regulations on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), the European Union is tightening requirements for companies placing products on the market. The objective is to minimize environmental impact throughout the entire product lifecycle – from manufacturing to disposal.
EPR mandates companies to take responsibility for the collection, take-back, and recycling of their products and packaging. This includes registration, reporting, and financing obligations towards national systems and authorities.
The Consequence:
Without meeting these requirements, legal distribution is no longer possible in many EU member states – particularly in sectors such as packaging, electronics, batteries, and textiles.
The EPR Challenge
EPR does not only bring new obligations, but also introduces significant operational and legal risks:
• Missing or incorrect registration in respective countries
• Incomplete or delayed volume reporting
• Unfulfilled take-back and disposal obligations
• Unclear responsibilities within international supply chains
These shortcomings can lead to sales bans, fines, or account suspensions on marketplaces – often accompanied by substantial administrative overhead and reputational damage.
