The implementation of the EPR in Germany

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is more than just a legal requirement – ​​it's a crucial step towards a sustainable circular economy. As a manufacturer or distributor in Germany, you bear responsibility for your products, from production to environmentally sound disposal. This obligation applies to packaging, electrical appliances, batteries, and more. From the Packaging Act to the Circular Economy Act, these laws regulate how processes can be optimized and how to actively contribute to resource conservation.

Who and what does the participation requirement apply to?

Every initial distributor of packaging, unless exempted under Section 12 of the Packaging Act (VerpackG), is required to participate in the system. All packaging must be licensed. This full registration includes, among other things, sales, reusable and transport packaging.

What applies to service packaging?

Distributors of service packaging are also responsible for licensing the packaging they offer. However, there is also the option of transferring participation in the system to the pre-distributor and purchasing packaging that has already been licensed.
