What is Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)?

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a legal framework that makes the manufacturer, importer, or online seller of a product financially responsible for its end-of-life collection and recycling. In the EU, EPR applies to packaging, WEEE (electronics), batteries, and textiles. Any business selling into an EU country, directly or through a marketplace such as Amazon, is a producer under that country's EPR law wherever the business is based, and must register with the national producer register before selling its first unit.

Which EU countries have EPR compliance requirements?

All 27 EU member states have national EPR legislation. Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, and Poland are the most active enforcement markets for Amazon sellers. Each country runs its own producer register — a registration in one country does not cover another. The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), in force from 12 August 2026, requires packaging EPR registration across all member states.

What is WEEE registration?

WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) registration is the legal duty for producers and importers of electrical and electronic equipment to register with the national authority in each EU country where they sell. Amazon checks these numbers country by country and has removed listings that had no valid number.

How much does WEEE registration cost with Eldris?

In Germany, WEEE registration is £600 a year, with the first EAR device category included. Each additional German EAR category is £255. Battery EPR in Germany is £265 and packaging (LUCID) is £185 a year. Each figure is the price of one year, with unlimited SKUs and no monthly fee. All 29 countries are priced on the pricing page.

How long does WEEE registration take?

Germany WEEE registration takes 6–13 weeks on average. Average registration time runs from 1 week (Germany packaging) to 9–17 weeks (Greece). The clock starts when we have your documents and signed power of attorney. Spain packaging takes 4–5 months without a Spanish tax number (NIF). Each line on the pricing page shows its own average.

What happens if I sell on Amazon without WEEE registration?

Amazon can suspend or remove your listings in the marketplaces where it checks registration numbers. In Germany, fines for selling unregistered electronics can reach €100,000.

Is Amazon Pay on Behalf the same as WEEE registration?

No. Amazon Pay on Behalf handles eco-contribution fees in some countries but does not register you with national authorities, does not provide a WEEE producer number, and does not satisfy the legal obligation under ElektroG or equivalent national laws.

Why do I pay 12 months before my registration is live?

Registration takes from 1 week to several months once we have your documents. Every full month of this year before you are live is credited to next year.

When do I pay next, and how much?

On 1 January: the annual price less your credit, plus that year's scheme fees. After that, the full annual price each 1 January. Annual reporting is always included. A reporting fee of 10% of the annual price is taken from your credit.

Who is Eldris

Built by sellers, for sellers.

We're Amazon private label sellers with online brands — just like you. We hit every wall trying to expand into the EU: confusing registrations, conflicting advice, endless paperwork. So we built Eldris to fix it. One place. Plain English. Done properly.

Mark

Co-founder · United Kingdom

Twenty years building brands and ecommerce businesses from the UK — from retail to Amazon PL. When I tried expanding our own products into Europe, I couldn't believe how fragmented and opaque the whole process was. No single service covered it properly. So I built one.

Kristoph

Co-founder · Estonia

Based in Tallinn — the EU's digital capital. I've spent a decade navigating EU compliance, EPR schemes and marketplace regulations while running my own online brands across Europe. When Mark and I met, the idea was obvious: combine our two sides of the same wall into something that actually works.
