Across Europe, many countries now require manufacturers and distributors of packaging to register their business and report on the packaging they release into the market. This is particularly true in Germany which was one of the first countries to set up EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) for packaging.

It does not matter if your business is a start-up or a multinational, if you sell in Germany then the EPR laws apply to you. The focus of the laws is to increase Extended Producer Responsibility compliance and improve recycling rates and reduce waste.

Anyone who places packaging into the German market now must pay a levy towards the recycling of their waste. The fee commanded depends on the packaging material and serves as an incentive for businesses to use recycled packaging, to unlock lower EPR fees.

The German EPR regulations mean that all packaging manufacturers, distributors, and retailers who sell in Germany now need to register and obtain a licence. The process of applying for a licence can be challenging and time-consuming.
