With our EPR Compliance Service, we take care of your extended producer responsibility obligations for packaging, WEEE, batteries, textiles, and more. Leave the bureaucracy to our expert team and stay fully focused on your core business.
The demands placed on the circular economy are constantly increasing. Since the concept was first developed in the 1990s, EPR has evolved into a complex web of national laws and diverse systems. Those who stay on top of these developments will secure long-term access to the European market.
Each EU country implements EPR differently. Different reporting deadlines, different classifications, and national portals in local languages make consistent management a challenge. Without a clear system, mistakes can happen quickly.
Rules such as the PPWR and new requirements for textiles, furniture, or single use plastics show that regulatory frameworks are constantly evolving. A business that is compliant today may already face new obligations tomorrow. Ongoing monitoring is therefore not optional. It is essential.
Marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, or Zalando are legally required to closely verify the compliance status of their sellers. Missing proof of compliance often leads to selling restrictions today. EPR compliance is therefore a basic requirement for your visibility and your revenue.

An EPR Compliance Service helps online retailers meet their legal recycling and take back obligations. At ecosistant, we provide consulting, information, implementation, and ongoing monitoring so that you, as the party placing products on the market, remain compliant in all your target markets.
EPR stands for Extended Producer Responsibility. It is a principle under which retailers participate in the recycling of their packaging or products. Put simply, retailers pay for the waste they generate in the countries where that waste arises. This works through reporting the quantities of products or packaging sold in each country and paying the corresponding fees. Those fees finance recycling systems.
If you sell cross border in Europe and deliver to consumers in other countries, almost every country has different laws for the recycling of packaging or products that you need to follow. As a retailer, meaning the party placing products on the market, you are generally required to join a national take back system and pay recycling fees.
Because the laws differ from country to country, it is nearly impossible to stay compliant everywhere without expert support.
As the first digital advisor for recycling compliance across Europe, ecosistant changes that. With our EPR Compliance Services, you gain clarity. You can hand over your obligations to us completely or receive simple, tailored manuals for each country and implement them yourself.
The prices for our Self Service are listed clearly here. Pricing for our other compliance services depends on factors such as the number of countries you supply, the quantities you sell, and the number of waste streams involved. Send us a request and we will provide you with a non binding quote.
Recycling fees are explicitly not included in our services. If applicable, they are charged separately as part of the relevant obligations and their implementation.
Recycling fees and registration fees charged by take back systems or national waste registers are not included in our service fees. These costs are passed on to you exactly as they are.
As a general guideline for external annual costs:
These amounts vary significantly depending on the country, the quantities involved, the specific products you sell, and the type of packaging used.
In some countries, additional one time costs may apply for notarial services and administrative fees needed to obtain required documents. In Spain, for example, you need a NIF number, which involves additional notary and registration fees.
Our services are designed for all types of companies. If you place packaging, electrical equipment, batteries, textiles, furniture, or other regulated products on the market, many countries impose EPR obligations that we can help you manage.
