What is EPR and how does EPR impact you?

EPR is an environmental policy principle that makes the producer responsible for the entire life cycle of the products, starting with the product design until the end of life management (waste collection, sorting and recycling).

In the EU, EPR is introduced via directives (notably the Waste Framework Directive), which need to be transposed into the national legislation by each EU member state. Therefore, the way EPR is implemented can differ from country to country.

How to become compliant with EPR obligations?

To be EPR compliant, all SPs who qualify as ‘Producers’[1], must – among other obligations – (1) register (i.e. get an EPR registration number) and, then, (2) keep the EPR registration number valid by filing declarations (regularly reporting data such as weight, dimension and units) and paying compliance fees to authorities. Typically, these steps are required in each EPR category or brand and type of equipment sold by a selling partner in a country. Where marketplace obligations exist, selling partners must also submit valid EPR registration number to Amazon. If selling partnerss are considered non-compliant, Amazon may need to suspend their non-compliant offers.

If you sell products on Amazon.fr and don’t take the above steps, Amazon will automatically enrol you in the EPR Pay on Behalf service. EPR Pay on Behalf is an Amazon service that helps Amazon sellers to comply with extended producer responsibility requirements in certain countries and categories.

What is a producer in the context of Extended Producer Responsibility?

Under EPR legislation, the producer is not always the manufacturer. Most commonly, the producer is defined as the party that sells a product subject to EPR in a country for the first time. For example, by manufacturing and selling products domestically or by importing finished products from abroad. As simple guidance, you are considered a producer in a country if you:

manufacture a product in the country and sell it domestically, or

import a product into the country where you are established, or

sell a product in a country where you are not physically established

We encourage you to refer to the country-specific help pages for more information
