What is EPR (Extended producer responsibility)?
Extended Producer Responsibility, also known as EPR, is a recent policy that is being implemented by an increasing number of nations and increases the producer's responsibility for the handling and disposal of post-consumer products. This policy imposes financial liability on the producer in an effort to improve waste management and provide a motivation to cut waste at the source.
In other words, EPR is a form of environmental regulation that holds manufacturers of goods subject to EPR requirements accountable for the entire life cycle of the goods they introduce to the market, from the point of conception to the point of disposal (including waste collection).
Who is affected by EPR
Beginning of 2022 Marketplaces must confirm that sellers are complying with Extended Producer Responsibility regulations in France and/or Germany. So far, only German and French marketplaces are obliged to make sellers comply with EPR regulations, for example, Amazon fr and Amazon de. In 2023 Austria will also make marketplaces to ask for EPR compliance information.
As marketplaces will start enforcing EPR, sellers will be obliged to register in the appropriate scheme for the type of product they are selling, in order to avoid being suspended.
What Do You Need to Do as an Amazon Seller?
If you sell products subject to EPR, then you need to ensure that you comply by registering your collection number with Amazon.
If you are reselling products, you may need the manufacturer-supplied serial number.
You must also submit documentation that the items have an EPR number with Amazon.
If you cannot obtain the EPR number from the producer, you are required to register for EPR and provide amazon with your EPR registration number(s)
