Seminar on the implementation of the EPR in Europe

WEEE, Batteries & Packaging

The EU directives provide the framework for the national regulations in the respective countries. Due to the fact that the transposition into national law has not been uniform, there are different requirements in each country. Therefore, it is important to know the different requirements and specifics.

European countries that are not part of the European Union have also followed the directives and implemented their own national regulations.

Do you also sell your products in non-EU member states? We are happy to cover their national requirements in our seminars. Our seminars on EPR in Europe are individually tailored to your product portfolio and your sales situation. Based on the different legal requirements, we shed light on whether your products fall within the scope of the national law in the respective country where you distribute them and whether you are obliged to comply with the country-specific requirements. You will also find out what the requirements are and how to implement them.

Legal background

The Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act, the Battery Act and the Packaging Act (in short: ElektroG, BattG & VerpackG) regulate, among other things, the offering/marketing, the taking back and the environmentally sound disposal of e-waste, waste batteries and packaging. The primarily goals are avoiding waste as well as encouraging reuse and environmentally sound recycling. In addition, the use of pollutants is to be reduced. The stakeholders of the ElektroG, BattG and VerpackG (including manufacturers, distributors, citizens, public waste management authorities, systems, waste management companies, etc.) have to fulfil a large number of obligations.
