Packaging

Do you place packaged products on the market in Germany and across Europe?

If you place packaging on the market in the EU - whether through physical retail or online channels - you are required to comply with the provisions of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). As a manufacturer, for example, you must carry out the conformity assessment procedure. This requirement applies throughout the EU.

If in an EU Member State you are considered a producer of packaging within the meaning of the PPWR, you must fulfil your Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations in that country. The practical requirements vary between Member States, as the Member States implement the EU rules on Extended Producer Responsibility individually. In Germany, the Verpackungsrecht-Durchführungsgesetz (VerpackDG) has been in force since 12 August 2026.

In Germany, all packaging producers must be registered with the LUCID Packaging Register. In addition, many types of packaging are subject to mandatory participation in a packaging compliance scheme. Where no system participation requirement applies, producers must register directly with the LUCID Packaging Register in order to fulfil their Extended Producer Responsibility obligations (applicable from 2028). Alternatively, they may transfer their EPR obligations to a Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO).

In other countries, we handle registration and licensing on your behalf where possible, or connect you with trusted local partners. Benefit from our experience to manage all products.

How can you keep track of country-specific requirements in other European markets?

There is no single Europe-wide registration authority. Registration and licensing must be completed separately in each country.

You can, of course, determine the applicable requirements yourself. However, this can be challenging, as national rules are often complex and difficult to navigate. Legislation may only be available in the respective national language, and requirements vary considerably in terms of reporting deadlines, fee structures, take-back obligations and labelling requirements. The legal framework is also subject to ongoing change.
