Get your WEEE & Battery Authorized Representative.

ecosistant, as your WEEE and battery authorized representative in Germany, fulfills all your obligations under the ElektroG and BattDG for you if you place electronic devices or batteries on the market in Germany. If your products contain batteries or rechargeable batteries, we can fulfill your collection and recycling obligations under the BattDG. For this purpose, we have contracts with disposal companies operating throughout Germany.

If you place electronic products on the market in Germany from abroad, e.g. when selling them via an online shop or marketplaces such as Amazon, then yes. In this case, you either need your own branch or subsidiary in Germany to take over your obligations under the ElektroG for you, or you authorize an expert such as ecosistant to fulfil your extended producer responsibility (EPR).

Yes, since August 18, 2025, foreign companies selling batteries in Germany are required to appoint a Battery Authorized  Representative in Germany. Self-registration is no longer possible. The representative assumes all obligations of extended producer responsibility (EPR).

We only need some documents from you during the registration process, such as a current extract from the commercial register. We will clarify all details with you in our onboarding process.

Once registered, you have to provide data on your sold electrical appliances on a monthly basis and on your batteries on an annual basis so that we can report this data to the Stiftung ear.

You must also provide your WEEE Reg. No. / Batt. Reg. No. to online marketplaces, if applicable, and in your imprint.

We will take care of everything else for you, i.e. registration, provision of the insolvency-proof guarantee, fulfilling collection and disposal orders, communication with waste disposal companies and authorities, etc.

Amazon and other online marketplaces, as well as fulfillment providers, are required to verify the WEEE Reg. No. / Batt. Reg. No. (the EPR numbers for electrical appliances and batteries).

You will receive these numbers after successfully registering with the Stiftung ear. As your Authorized Representative, ecosistant will forward the numbers to you immediately after receiving them.

The processing time of the Stiftung ear is normally around 8-10 weeks, but can also take longer in exceptional cases. Unfortunately, we at ecosistant cannot influence this. We would recommend allowing at least 8-10 weeks. Don’t waste any time and request a quote from us today.

Yes, in principle, an Authorized Representative for WEEE must be appointed in every EU member state and various third countries to take over the collection and recycling obligations of producers and online retailers of electrical appliances.
