What does the Packaging Act say?

The purpose of the Packaging Act (VerpackG) is to prevent packaging waste and to ensure proper disposal so that a cycle of recyclable materials is created. By anchoring product responsibility in the Packaging Act, an important legal framework was created to make the commercial first distributors of packaging responsible for disposal. The resulting obligations include, for example, registration with the central body, participation in a dual system, and volume reporting. Failure to comply with the legal requirements may result in legal consequences.

Control and transparency

What is the Central Packaging Register?

The ZSVR was founded in 2017 and has been acting as an entrusted authority with sovereign tasks since the Packaging Act came into force in 2019. Commercial initial distributors of packaging are obliged to register in the associated packaging register LUCID. If they put packaging into circulation that is subject to system participation, the packaging quantities must also be reported twice a year. The establishment of the ZSVR has created a control body that enables transparency and makes the objectives of the Packaging Act achievable.

Europe-wide EPR compliance

Extended producer responsibility

Extended producer responsibility (EPR) aims to reduce waste and promote a circular economy by making manufacturers and distributors responsible for the entire life cycle of their products. By enshrining EPR in EU directives, a legal framework has been created that obliges companies to take back, dispose of and recycle products and packaging. The resulting obligations include registering with the relevant authorities, applying for an EPR number and submitting evidence on platforms such as Amazon or eBay. Non-compliance with the regulations can result in sanctions such as fines or sales bans.
