What is Packaging Compliance?

Under Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), packaging compliance regulations hold producers accountable for the environmental impact of their packaging materials. These regulations require companies to manage the collection, recycling, and disposal of packaging waste, often by financing or overseeing recycling systems. While EPR laws differ by country, their overall goal is to reduce packaging waste and enhance recycling efforts.

What are Packaging compliance schemes?

Packaging compliance schemes, also known as Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs), are organizations that assist companies in fulfilling their packaging waste obligations under EPR regulations. They oversee the collection, recycling, and disposal of packaging waste on behalf of producers, ensuring compliance with environmental laws.

Who are the obligated stakeholders?

Producers are the key entities introducing packaging into the market, and their obligations depend on where the products are sold, including e‑commerce. These requirements vary across countries, which can make compliance challenging. 

Obligations under WEEE regulations generally apply to:

  • Manufacturers 
  • Importers and Distributors 
  • Retailers and Distant Sellers
