EPR (Producer Responsibility)
Extended Producer Responsibility — per-country, per-stream registration, reporting and fee obligations for packaging, WEEE and batteries.
EPR registration by country: the EU 27 register/report/pay map sellers actually need
EPR is implemented per member state — LUCID, ADEME, CONAI, Verpact and 24 others. Here's how the national registers work for packaging, WEEE, batteries and textiles, what PPWR Art. 44 changes from 12 August 2026, and where non-EU sellers need an Authorised Representative.
EPR for online sellers: how marketplaces enforce it, and what gets your listings delisted
For e-commerce sellers, the sharpest EPR risk in 2026 isn't national fines — it's marketplace delisting under the Digital Services Act. Here's how Amazon EU, Otto, Bol.com and others enforce EPR, what pay-on-behalf actually costs, and how to pre-empt suspension.
EPR registration: which countries require it and how to register
Extended Producer Responsibility is still national. Germany's LUCID, France's ADEME identifier and Citeo, Spain's producer register and plastic tax, Italy's CONAI and environmental labelling, and the Netherlands packaging fund — plus a six-step method for working out what you owe and where.
What is Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)? The EU's per-country register/report/pay regime, in plain English
EPR makes the company placing a product on the market financially responsible for its post-consumer stage. It runs per-country and per-stream — packaging, WEEE, batteries, textiles — with marketplace delisting now the sharpest enforcement lever. Here's what it actually is.
