Service for packaging

You distribute packaged products and bring sales or transport packaging on the market? 

If you sell products in packaging or offer packaging on the European market as a manufacturer, distributor, importer or online retailer, then your business model is governed by the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (Directive 94/62/EC) and you are subject to the individual laws that apply in the respective countries concerning manufacturing and trading.

We support you in selling your products legally compliant (outside Germany).

 

30 European countries – 30 different implementations of the European Packing and Packaging Waste Directive

Different laws with country-specific requirements apply throughout Europe. In Germany, the German packaging law (VerpackG, formerly known as Verpackungsverordnung  VerpackV) applies to the licensing, registration and disposal of sales packaging.

Packing and Packaging Waste Directive and Packaging Act – Did you know that? 

In many european countries, the Packing and Packaging Directive requires manufacturers, distributors or importers of packaging or packaged products to contribute to the cost of waste disposal (responsibility for product or responsibility for taking back and disposing of packaging). For this purpose, recognised “dual systems” have been set up, which award the necessary licences. In Germany the new Packaging Law came into force in 2019 and the so called Central Agency Packaging Register („Stiftung Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister“/LUCID) monitor the market with the help of a register where companies have to sign up before they start selling products with packaging.
