EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) Compliance Support
EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) requires businesses shipping packaging, electrical & electronic equipment (WEEE), batteries, textiles, and other products to the EU/UK markets to complete registration, recycling-fee declarations, and annual reporting with the authorities in each country. Registration bodies and fee systems differ by country; without registration you may be unable to list on marketplaces such as Amazon, or face penalties. Order the products and countries you need directly from the cart below.
Who EPR Covers and What It Requires
Products in scope
Packaging, electrical & electronic equipment (EEE/WEEE), batteries, textiles, furniture, toys, printed matter, and more — the scope differs by country.
Main obligations
Registration with each country’s EPR body (e.g. Germany’s LUCID), declaration and payment of recycling/eco contributions, and submission of annual reports.
Risks of non-compliance
Listing suspension on marketplaces (Amazon and others require an EPR registration number), detention at customs, and potential administrative penalties.

The above are indicative annual prices (excl. tax) for typical products. Prices may vary with your products and sales volume; if so, we will adjust the invoice after purchase.
Separate from EPR (environmental compliance), the GPSR (General Product Safety Regulation) may require you to appoint an EU-based Responsible Person.
