I just want to sell online – do I really need this?

Yes, if you sell packaged products, electronics, or batteries into Germany or the EU—regardless of the sales channel (marketplace, your own online store, or offline). The obligation applies to the seller, not the platform.

What happens if I don’t register?

Marketplaces can suspend or block your listings, and authorities can impose fines. We handle the full registration, so this never becomes a problem for you.

Do I need to handle the legal details myself?

No. We act as your authorized representative, submit the registration, provide the required insolvency guarantee, and manage ongoing reporting for you.

New to EPR?
Here’s what you need to know.

An EPR number proves that you’re registered to sell packaged products, electronics, or batteries in the EU. Marketplaces like Amazon and customs authorities require it before you can legally sell—without it, listings can be blocked or shipments held. You don’t need to understand the legal details yourself—we handle the entire registration for you.

And why is a professional service provider essential?

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in Europe requires companies to register with the official institutions and to finance the waste management of their packaging, batteries, and used electrical equipment.

Electrical/Electronic Equipment

Selling electrical and electronic equipment makes registration mandatory.

Packaging

Mandatory registration to obtain a registration number

Batteries

Selling batteries in Europe makes registration mandatory.

Important: Any retailer shipping packaged goods must register their packaging. Depending on the product, electrical and electronic equipment and/or batteries must be registered too.

Why do you need a service provider?

Approved authorized representative: As a foreign company without a registered office in the target country, you need to appoint an authorized representative who will fulfill all obligations on your behalf.

Insolvency guarantee: Official institutions require an insolvency guarantee to cover disposal costs. This can only be provided by specialized service providers like us.

Join a take-back system: You are required to take back waste electrical equipment and used batteries placed on the market. We ensure your collection requests are handled on time and in full compliance.

Ongoing compliance: After you receive your number, regular reporting and compliance with legal requirements are necessary. We take care of this for you.

Time savings: Understanding the different local laws in detail takes valuable resources you need for your core business.

FAQs on the EPR Registration Number

The EPR Registration Number is a specific and unique identification code that companies receive when registering their products under extended producer responsibility laws. This number serves as evidence that the respective company has taken all necessary steps to ensure proper disposal or recycling of its products at the end of their life cycle. It is a crucial requirement for companies to fulfill their environmental obligations.

If you already have an EPR registration number, it should be noted on official documents or confirmation letters from the relevant authority. Alternatively, you can visit the website of the relevant regulatory authority or organization. Often, there are search functions or databases where EPR registration numbers can be checked. If you have uncertainties, reach out to a competent partner such as Deutsche Recycling GmbH.
