Frequently Asked Questions
What is Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in the EU?
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy in which companies placing products on an EU market must take financial and organizational responsibility for the entire lifecycle of those products, particularly waste management and recycling.
What happens if I don’t comply with EPR regulations?
Non-compliance can lead to marketplace listing suspension, financial penalties, blocked shipments, or removal of your products from sale. Marketplaces like Amazon increasingly require valid EPR numbers before allowing listings to remain active.
Who needs to comply with EPR?
Any company selling products in countries with EPR regulations — including online marketplace sellers — may be considered a “producer,” even if they are not the actual manufacturer. If you sell to consumers in the EU or UK, you likely need to comply.
Which product categories fall under EPR?
The most common EPR categories include:
Packaging
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Batteries
Textiles
Furniture
Paper products
Not all categories apply to every seller. We help determine exactly which obligations apply to your business.
Do marketplace sellers (Amazon, eBay, Allegro, Kaufland, etc.) need EPR numbers?
Yes. Most major platforms require valid EPR registration numbers to avoid account warnings, listing removals, or sales blocks. Amazon and eBay have already introduced strict mandatory verification.
How can I manage my inefficient ads that I have identified with A/B testing?
Do I need an Authorized Representative (AR/AP)
Some countries require a local representative for foreign companies selling to consumers—especially WEEE and batteries categories.
We help arrange and manage AR services where required.
