Extended Producer ResponsibilityEPR
EPR makes producers responsible for the end-of-life of packaging, electronics and more — via registration and reporting in each EU country you sell into. Regonance tracks your obligations per market.
The concrete categories in scope
Producers and sellers shipping into multiple EU markets — each country has its own scheme. Non-EU sellers (often need an authorised representative per country). Agencies managing multi-country registration for clients.
What EPR obliges you to do
Register in each national scheme
Register as a producer in every EU country where you place products, per waste stream — packaging, WEEE, batteries, increasingly textiles.
Report volumes and pay fees
Periodic reporting of quantities placed on market and payment of scheme fees, on the cycle each scheme defines.
Appoint an authorised representative where required
Many countries require a local AR for non-established producers. Regonance connects you to vetted EPR partners.
Key dates and what they trigger
Scheme registration
Deadlines vary by member state and waste stream — register before placing product on market.
Reporting cycles
Quarterly or annual depending on the scheme; missing a cycle triggers fees and delisting risk.
New streams
Textiles EPR rolling out across member states; track new obligations as they go live.
From exposed to audit-ready
Six readiness checks Regonance turns from gap to source-traced for EPR.
What the platform does for EPR
Available on Growth, Pro and Agency.
Map your per-country obligations
Each market you sell into × each waste stream → a single tracked obligation list with deadlines.
Track registration + reporting status
Registration numbers stored against each market; reporting cycles surfaced before they're overdue.
Connect you to vetted EPR partners
AR appointment and scheme registration handled by partners we've vetted, with status reflected in your workspace.
The gaps we see most often on EPR
- Unregistered in a market you actively sell into
- No authorised representative where the member state requires one
- Reporting filings overdue or incomplete
- Waste streams unidentified for the product portfolio
- Registration numbers not displayed where marketplaces require them
Every EPR finding is source-traced — what the gap is, where it came from in your inputs, and the remediation step. A readiness report, not a verdict.
EPR questions, answered
Do I need to register for EPR in every EU country?
Yes — EPR is national. You register per country where you place products, per waste stream.
What's an authorised representative for EPR?
A local entity that many member states require non-established producers to appoint in order to fulfil EPR obligations.
Which waste streams does EPR cover?
Commonly packaging, electrical/electronic equipment (WEEE) and batteries — with textiles EPR rolling out.
What happens if I don't register?
Market-access risk, fines and marketplace delisting; many marketplaces require EPR registration numbers to list.
Does Regonance register me with the schemes?
Regonance tracks and surfaces your per-country obligations and connects you to EPR partners; you complete registration. Informational guidance, not legal advice.
