The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation applies from 12 August 2026. If you place packaged products on the EU market and you are not established in the EU, you need packaging EPR registration and an Article 45 authorised representative in every member state where you sell. EcoComply handles registration, reporting and authorised representation for €1,000 per country, covering one full year. Everything is included.
€1,000 per country covers registration, reporting, authorised representation and platform monitoring for one full year. No setup fee, no per-report charges, no year-end invoice. No surprises.
PPWR is a regulation, not a directive. It applies directly in all 27 member states from 12 August 2026, with no national transposition to wait for.
Amazon.de, Cdiscount, Bol.com and others block listings without a valid packaging registration number. In practice this is where most sellers feel PPWR first, well before any regulator makes contact.
Germany fines up to €100,000 for unregistered producers. France up to €200,000. Packaging enforcement is already active under existing national schemes and PPWR consolidates it across the EU.
Distributors and customers increasingly ask for a packaging registration number before they will accept a shipment. Not having one stalls the order, not just the paperwork.

Quick answers to the most common PPWR and packaging EPR questions
PPWR is the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2025/40. It entered into force on 11 February 2025 and most obligations apply from 12 August 2026. Because it is a regulation rather than a directive, it applies directly and identically across all 27 member states with no national transposition. Packaging placed on the EU market from that date must comply, including stock manufactured before the deadline.
PPWR applies to anyone placing packaged products on the EU market, including non-EU manufacturers, importers and online sellers. If your product reaches an EU customer in packaging, you are in scope, whether you sell through a distributor, a marketplace or direct.
If you are established outside the EU and place packaged products on the market of a member state, you generally need an authorised representative for extended producer responsibility in each member state where you sell, under Article 45. This is a separate appointment from a product-safety authorised representative under GPSR, and one does not cover the other.
€1,000 per country. That single price covers packaging EPR registration, all periodic reporting, your Article 45 authorised representative and platform monitoring for one full year. Nothing is billed separately: no setup fee, no per-report charges, no year-end reconciliation invoice.
This service covers the packaging stream only, at €1,000 per country for a full year. If you also have electrical equipment, battery or textile obligations, our EPR registration service covers every stream, including WEEE, packaging, batteries and textiles, at €2,000 per country per year. If you sell packaged electronics, the all-streams service is usually the cheaper route. Not sure which streams apply to you? A €399 product compliance assessment maps every obligation for your product and markets in 48 hours.
Get a €399 product compliance assessment →Registration is a precondition for placing packaged products on the market, so selling without it puts you in breach from the day you sell. The practical consequences usually arrive through marketplaces and customers before they arrive through regulators: listings can be suspended and distributors may ask for a registration number you cannot supply. Registration remains possible after the date, so the priority is to register in your highest-volume markets first.
