What is EPR? Is this for me?

EPR stands for extended producer responsibility. The idea: whoever puts a product on the market in a country helps pay for collecting and recycling it once it is thrown away. For packaging that usually means you join a producer responsibility organisation (a scheme) in that country, report how much packaging you put on the market, by material, and pay a fee for it. Some countries have similar rules for electrical equipment, batteries and textiles.

Is this for me?

EuroPlaybook is made for small brands that sell physical products, often through a web shop, to customers in one or more EU countries. If you send products in packaging to customers in a country, you may have obligations there, also when your company is based somewhere else.

Whether an obligation applies depends on the country, the regime, who counts as the producer (you, a reseller or a marketplace) and sometimes on quantities. EuroPlaybook works this out from your companies and sales and shows the result per country under Reporting › Obligations, with the reason and the source.
