Meeting marketplace obligations
The starting point
GoJungo specializes in managing marketplace sales for D2C brands and helping them grow. The company supports its clients from initial marketplace strategy through operational setup to expansion, ensuring strong product visibility and smooth processes at every stage. For many brands, selling on platforms such as Zalando, Otto, or About You is a key growth driver. This is exactly where GoJungo comes in.
However, with every new country and platform, regulatory complexity increases. EPR obligations apply across Europe, but each country implements them differently. For GoJungo, this meant that every expansion brought not only new revenue opportunities but also new compliance requirements. At the same time, marketplaces themselves became stricter. They now actively require EPR registration numbers and confirmations from PROs. Missing or incomplete documentation can lead to temporary listing deactivations. This is a serious issue because it directly impacts revenue.
The challenge
The main challenge was not the existence of EPR obligations, but implementing them consistently across multiple countries and marketplaces. Each country has its own registration processes, reporting cycles, and responsible authorities. There are also language barriers and the need to choose between different take-back systems or authorized representatives, each with its own conditions that must be compared first. On top of that, marketplace controls are becoming increasingly strict.
For a company like GoJungo, which manages a broad product portfolio across several countries, EPR can quickly turn into a full-time job. Teams spend days figuring out which registrations are required in which country and how to complete them.
“We realized that without a centralized setup, EPR quickly becomes a bottleneck,” says Silja, Head of Business Development at GoJungo. “The brands we support want to scale and rely on us to make that possible. If we also have to handle all EPR registrations as part of our services, it ties up a huge amount of our resources.”
Our solution
ecosistant provides GoJungo with a structured, full-service EPR solution tailored to these requirements. Instead of managing EPR internally, ecosistant takes over the entire process, allowing GoJungo to focus on what it does best: bringing brands onto marketplaces.
The process began with a clear assessment. ecosistant analyzed which EPR compliance requirements apply in which countries. Based on this, a concrete roadmap was created. Once it was clear where registrations were required, the dedicated Key Account Manager coordinated the next steps. ecosistant’s country specialists initiated all registrations quickly and correctly. With power of attorney in place, the team was able to handle registrations efficiently from start to finish and take over ongoing quantity reporting. In addition, ecosistant manages all communication with PROs and supports mandatory recycling labeling and waste management plans.
For GoJungo, the process is simple and transparent. All tasks related to registrations and reporting are handled through the ecosistant portal. The status for each country is visible at any time, and all relevant documents and invoices are stored centrally in one place.
The result
Since partnering with ecosistant, GoJungo has been able to ensure EPR compliance across Europe without tying up internal resources. Registrations are managed centrally by ecosistant. Whenever questions arise, GoJungo can rely on their dedicated Key Account Manager. Status updates and documentation are made available in the ecosistant portal as soon as they are ready.
This not only relieves operational teams at GoJungo but also accelerates expansion. New countries and platforms are no longer a regulatory risk, but real growth opportunities. GoJungo can rely on all listings remaining compliant and available at all times.
“EPR is no longer something that slows us down,” Silja summarizes. “Since working with ecosistant, we only need to invest minimal time in it. That’s exactly how it should be.”
