What Is EPR?
If you're selling physical goods in European Union — whether you're based in EU or outside it — EPR compliance is now a critical part of doing business.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy that makes producers responsible for the collection, recycling, and disposal of certain types of products and packaging placed on the EU market.
If you're selling electronics, batteries, packaging, or textiles, you may be legally required to register and report under EPR regulations in each EU country where your products are sold.
Who Needs to Comply?
✅ EU-based Sellers:
If your business is located in EU and you sell regulated products, you must register with the relevant national EPR scheme(s) and report volumes regularly.
🌍 International Sellers (e.g., from the US, UK, India, China):
If you sell directly to EU consumers or via platforms like Amazon or eBay, you’re still considered a producer under EPR laws. That means you must comply too — usually by appointing an Authorized Representative and registering in each applicable country.
❗ Platforms like Amazon are now enforcing EPR requirements and may block listings for non-compliance

- 📦 Packaging (including boxes, bubble wrap, filler)
