To whom do recycling labeling obligations apply?

Why recycling labels can quickly become a risk
What you can achieve with proper recycling labeling
When it comes to recycling labeling requirements, it’s not just about complying with the laws that apply to you. More importantly, it’s about protecting our resources, promoting a circular economy, and thereby safeguarding our environment.
Avoid fines
You reduce the risk of incorrect labeling. In many countries, violations of labeling requirements can result in significant legal consequences.
Sell securely
You ensure your packaging is brought to market in Europe with greater confidence. This is particularly important if you serve multiple EU countries simultaneously.
Reduce costs
You’ll save yourself the trouble of time-consuming research and repeated coordination. This will help you arrive at a practical labeling solution more quickly.
Act sustainably
Proper labeling helps consumers dispose of products correctly, thereby supporting the circular economy and waste management.

Super Service! Hier findet man eine umfangreiche Information mit Telefonnummern, Anmeldeadressen und hilfreichen Hinweisen zu jedem Land. Mir war diese Seite ausgesprochen dienlich um zu entscheiden wie ich mich wirtschaftlich sinnvoll und rechtskonform im internationalen Versand verhalte. Die Seite ist gut strukturiert, übersichtlich und thematisch gut durchdrungen. Man kann in Ruhe seine "Hausaufgaben" machen und behält den Überblick. Eine gut durchdachte Benutzerführung. Herzlichen Dank ich Empfehle Sie gern weiter 🙂

With our three different packages, we can provide you with varying levels of support and assistance.
From guidance on how to label your products yourself with the “Do it yourself” plan, to our digital compliance service, to checking the packaging you’ve created with the “Let us Check” plan, all the way to creating your custom labels from start to finish with the “We’ve got you covered” plan: We’re here to help.
Since we are familiar with the relevant regulations and are therefore fully aware of the urgency of your requests, we naturally prioritize prompt service. For this reason, we aim to complete the service or deliver your custom packaging labels within a maximum of ten business days after payment is received.
No, there is currently no EU-wide requirement for recycling labels. However, the European Commission recommends labeling materials in accordance with EU Decision 97/129/EC. Only in a few countries is this labeling actually mandatory.
In some countries, such as France or Italy: Yes!
However, these requirements and labels may vary depending on the country of shipment. Through our labeling service, we provide comprehensive advice or, as part of our “We’ve got you covered” package, create the designs for your labels.
In rare cases, you may provide this information in another format. For example, if your packaging is too small to print all the required labels.
Depending on the packaging, you may also use QR codes.
We provide comprehensive advice to customers of our Recycling Labeling Service regarding their options.
No, it is possible to use packaging throughout the EU that meets all labeling requirements.
We’ll, of course, keep our customers and followers as up to date as possible on all the latest developments across all EU countries.
The best way to stay informed is to subscribe to our newsletter and check our blog or social media channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook) regularly.
