We help you register your transport packaging in compliance with the law.
Registration with the ZSVR must be completed before companies place products on the market in Germany. Since July 2022, new requirements also apply as regards the obligation to provide information, proof and documentation. Distributors of transport and commercial packaging must provide for the free take-back and disposal of this packaging from their customers. The Packaging Act expressly provides for the option of contracting third parties. When your packaging is included in our take-back system, we organise its take-back and recovery in keeping with the principles of the VerpackG.
