What do I need to do according to the EPR?
Wie muss ich nach EPR vorgehen?
When selling products in Germany, manufacturers and distributors fulfil their EPR by registering with the Central Agency Packaging Register and having sales packaging that is subject to the system participation obligation included in a dual system. Because every member state in the EU implements the requirements in their own national laws, it is very challenging for manufacturers and distributors of products to meet all the requirements in their target markets. An EPR compliance partner like Zentek will help you meet your responsibility without having to keep an eye on every law yourself.
